Abstract

The terahertz and infrared spectra of the complex dynamic conductivity, as well as the temperature dependences of the density of a superconducting condensate and the electronic specific heat of superconducting Ba(Fe1 − x Co x )2As2 compounds, have been analyzed within a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer-like model of a multiband superconductor with strong coupling. It has been shown that the superconducting state of these compounds is determined by three (one electronic and two hole) weakly interacting condensates. The order parameters of the condensates are: Δ1 ≈ 15 cm−1, Δ2 ≈ 21 cm−1, and Δ3 ≈ 30–35 cm−1. The results significantly refine the existing notions on the structure of the superconducting state of Co-doped BaFe2As2 multiband compounds.
