摘要
We have studied the Fe-based superconductor Ba0.55K0.45Fe1.95Co0.05As2 in order to identify the structure of the order parameter in this system by performing extensive low-temperature specific heat measurements in zero and in applied magnetic field. The pronounced superconducting jump at T-c = 32.5 K and Delta(0)/(k(B)T(c)) = 2.57 indicate strong-coupling superconductivity in this material. Here we provide evidence for fully gapped superconductivity in Ba0.55K0.45Fe1.95Co0.05As2. A linear magnetic field dependence of the low-temperature specific heat points to s-wave symmetry of the order parameter. Below T-c the superconducting electronic part of the specific heat can be described by the BCS alpha model with Lambda(0) = 7.2 meV.
