摘要

Point-contact (PC) investigations on the title compound in the normal and superconducting (SC) state (T_c approx= 10.6 K) are presented. The temperature dependence of the SC gap of TmNi_2B_2C determined from Andreev-reflection (AR) spectra using the standard single-gap approximation (SGA) deviates from the BCS behavior in displaying a maximum at about T_c/2. A refined analysis within the two-gap approximation provides evidence for the presence of a second gap twice as large as the main gap (the first one), while the latter is close to that within the SGA. This way, TmNi_2B_2C expands the number of nickel borocarbide superconductors which exhibit a clear multiband character. Additionally, "reentrant" features were found in the AR spectra for some PCs measured in a magnetic field. The PC spectroscopy of the electron-boson interaction in TmNi_2B_2C in the normal state reveals a pronounced phonon maximum at 9.5 meV and a more smeared one at around 15 meV, while at higher energies the PC spectra are almost featureless. Additionally, the most intense peak slightly above 3 meV observed in the PC spectra of TmNi_2B_2C is presumably caused by crystalline-electric-field (CEF) excitations. The peak near 1 meV detected for some PC spectra is connected with a modification of the CEF, probably due to boron or carbon vacancies, allowing a probe of the local stoichiometry by PC spectroscopy.
