Abstract

We used angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to reveal directly the momentum distribution of the superconducting gap in FeTe 1-xSe x, which has the simplest structure of all Fe-based superconductors. We found isotropic superconducting gaps on all Fermi surfaces whose sizes can be fitted by a single gap function derived from a strong coupling approach, promoting local antiferromagnetic exchange interactions as a serious candidate for the pairing origin.
