Abstract

The electric transport properties of superconducting c-axis FeSe0.46Te0.54/Au (S/N) junctions, fabricated using pulsed laser deposition, have been investigated in the temperature range of 2 K to the superconducting transition temperature Tc (∼ 13.5 K) and in the presence of applied magnetic fields from 0 to 9 T. A large zero bias conductance peak has always been observed in every conductance spectrum of several batches of junctions. In addition, we have found several gap-like features. Using the extended BTK theory with the currently favored nodeless S±-wave symmetry, our conductance spectrum can be reproduced quite well in the low bias range with Δ1 = 4 meV and Δ2 = 6 meV at 2 K. However, the experimental conductance spectrum is substantially below the one calculated in the high bias range. Furthermore, there is a conductance minimum at approximately 20 meV, which may be the reason for the discrepancy.
