Abstract
We study the structure of the superconducting order parameter in underdoped NaFe1 – xCoxAs pnictides with Tc ≈ 19–21 K related to the 111 family. Using incoherent multiple Andreev reflection effect spectroscopy of planar break junctions, we directly determine the magnitudes of the two microscopic superconducting order parameters: the small superconducting gap ΔS(0), and possible edges of the large gap ΔL(0) having an anisotropy in the
plane at T ≪ Tc, the corresponding characteristic ratios, as well as their temperature dependences. Additionally, we detect features of the tunneling spectra in NaFe1 – xCoxAs at
, those irrelative to superconducting state, and discuss their origin.
