Abstract
The comprehensive low-temperature specific-heat () data identify both an isotropic -wave and extended -wave order parameters coexisting in a superconducting single-crystal FeSe with 8.11 K. The isotropic gap Δ 1.33 meV on the hole Fermi sheets and the extended -wave gap Δ Δ(1αcos2ϕ) with Δ 1.13 meV and α 0.78 on the electron Fermi sheets. The extended wave is rather anisotropic, but the low-energy quasiparticle excitations demonstrate no sign of the accidental nodes. The coefficient γ() manifesting the quasiparticle contribution to is a nonlinear function of the applied magnetic field in the mixed state in accord with the anisotropic multiorder parameters.
