Abstract

Results of X-band microwave surface impedance measurements of FeSe1− x Te x very thin film are reported. The effective surface resistance shows appearance of peak at T ≤ Tc when plotted as a function of temperature. The authors suggests that the most well-reasoned explanation can be based on the idea of the changing orientation of the microwave magnetic field at a S–N phase transition near the surface of a very thin film. The magnetic penetration depth exhibits a power-law behavior of δλ L (T) ∝ CT n , with an exponent n ≈ 2.4 at low temperatures, which is noticeably higher than in the published results on FeSe1 − x Te x single crystal. However the temperature dependence of the superfluid conductivity remains very different from the behavior described by the BCS theory. Experimental results are fitted very well by a two-gap model with Δ1/kTc = 0.43 and Δ2/kTc = 1.22, thus supporting s ±-wave symmetry. The rapid increase of the quasiparticle scattering time is obtained from the microwave impedance measurements.
