摘要
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy of superconducting MgB2 (T-c = 39 K) were studied on high-density pellets and c-axis oriented films. The sample surfaces were chemically etched to remove surface carbonated, and hydroxides, and the data were compared with calculated spectra for all symmetry-allowed pairing channels. The pairing potential (Delta(k)) is best described by an anisotropic s-wave pairing model, with Delta(k) = Delta(xy) sin(2)theta(k) +Delta(z) cos(2)theta(k), where theta(k) is the angle relative to the crystalline c-axis, Delta(z) similar to 8.0 meV, and Delta(xy) similar to 5.0 meV.
