Abstract

Break-junction tunneling spectra have been measured on MgB₂ and Li_0.5(THF)_yHfNCl to investigate the nature of the superconducting gap. The observed largest gap values at 4 K are 2Δ = 18-20 and 11-12meV for MgB₂ (T_c = 39 K) and Li_0.5(THF)_yHfNCl (26 K), respectively. These values lead to the similar ratio 2Δ/k_BT_c = 5-6, which is extremely large in comparison with that of the conventional strong-coupling superconductors.
