The low-temperature specific heat of Co-doped BaFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$

ORAL

Abstract

We have measured the low-temperature specific heat of Ba(Fe$_{1- x}$Co$_{x}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ ($x$=0,0.08,0.2) single crystals. The electronic specific heat of Ba(Fe$_{0.92}$Co$_{0.08}$)$_{2} $As$_{2}$ in the superconductiong state with $T_{c}$=21 K is revealed. A $T^{2}$ term was observed at low temperatures, providing the evidence of nodes in the gap. Furthermore, the data suggest a multi-gap feature for Ba(Fe$_{0.92}$Co$_{0.08}$) $_{2}$As$_{2}$. The mixed state data will also be reported.
