Abstract
ZrRuAs single crystals with hexagonal crystal structure, which is a kind of non-centrosymmetric superconductor with relatively high transition temperature, is predicted to be a topological superconductor candidate. To explore the exotic properties of ZrRuAs, the superconducting gap of ZrRuAs needs to be measured. In this work, point-contact Andreev reflection (PCAR) spectroscopy is used to investigate the superconductivity of ZrRuAs single crystals. The double conductance peaks in the PCAR spectra are observed along different crystal directions. The superconducting gap can be quantitatively analyzed by using the modified Blonder–Tinkham–Klapwijk model based on the s-wave superconductivity. The temperature dependence of the extracted superconducting gap follows the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer theory. Our results suggest the isotropic s-wave superconductivity in ZrRuAs.
