Superconducting energy gap of YB 6 studied by point-contact spectroscopy
Abstract
Yttrium hexaboride has the second highest critical temperature, Tc ∼ 8 K, among all borides. The presented paper deals with the experimental study of its superconducting energy gap established by the method of the point-contact spectroscopy. The temperature dependence of the energy gap and the strength of the superconducting coupling is presented.
