Abstract
The study of the anisotropic superconductor [Formula presented] using a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy reveals two distinct energy gaps at [Formula presented] and [Formula presented] at 4.2 K. Different spectral weights of the partial superconducting density of states are a reflection of different tunneling directions in this multiband system. Temperature evolution of the tunneling spectra follows the BCS scenario [Phys. Rev. Lett. 3, 552 (1959)] with both gaps vanishing at the bulk [Formula presented]. The data confirm the importance of Fermi-surface sheet dependent superconductivity in [Formula presented] proposed in the multigap model by Liu et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 087005 (2001)].
