Title
Second superconducting energy gap of Nb3Sn observed by breakjunction point-contact spectroscopy
Abstract

Multiband superconductivity is an outstanding issue of recent research. The discovery of two-band superconductivity in MgB2 has revitalized the interest in multigap superconductivity. A first experimental hint at the opening of multiple gaps at the Fermi energy is a low temperature anomaly in the specific heat measurement in the superconducting state. Recently, Nb3Sn have shown similar behavior, namely nonexponential decay and a plateau at low temperature. Point contact spectroscopy is done in order to directly probe the structure of the superconducting energy gap these materials spectroscopically.
