Probing the superconducting gap structure of (Li1−xFex)OHFeSe

2017 
We report measurements of the London penetration depth [$\Delta\lambda(T)$] of the recently discovered iron-based superconductor (Li$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$)OHFeSe, in order to characterize the nature of the superconducting gap structure. At low temperatures, $\Delta\lambda(T)$ displays nearly temperature independent behavior, indicating a fully open superconducting gap. We also analyze the superfluid density $\rho_s(T)$ which cannot be well accounted for by a single-gap isotropic $s$-wave model but are consistent with either two-gaps, a model for the orbital selective $s\times\tau_3$ state or anisotropic $s$-wave superconductivity.
