الوصف: International audience ; The London penetration depth λ(T) was measured in a single crystal of V3Si. The superfluid density obtained from this measurement shows a distinct signature of two almost decoupled superconducting gaps. This alone is insufficient to distinguish between s± and s++ pairing states, but it can be achieved by studying the effect of controlled nonmagnetic disorder on the superconducting transition temperature Tc. For this purpose, the same V3Si crystal was sequentially irradiated by 2.5-MeV electrons three times, repeating the measurement between the irradiation runs. A total dose of 10C/cm2 (6.24×1019 electrons/cm2) was accumulated, for which Tc changed from 16.4 K in a pristine state to 14.7 K (9.3%). Not only is this substantial suppression impossible for a single isotropic gap, but also it is not large enough for a sign-changing s± pairing state. Our electronic band structure calculations show how five bands crossing the Fermi energy can be naturally grouped to support two effective gaps, not dissimilar from the physics of iron pnictides. We analyze the results using two-gap models for both λ(T) and Tc which describe the data very well. Thus the experimental results and theoretical analysis provide strong support for an s++ superconductivity with two unequal gaps, Δ1(0)≈2.53meV and Δ2(0)≈1.42meV, and a very weak interband coupling in the V3Si superconductor.
