Abstract :
[en] We investigate the temperature dependence of the lower critical fi eld Hc1(T) of a high-quality FeSe single crystal under static magnetic fields H parallel to the c axis. The temperature dependence of the first vortex penetration fi eld has been experimentally obtained by two independent methods and the corresponding Hc1(T) was deduced by taking into account demagnetization factors. A pronounced change of the Hc1(T) curvature is observed, which is attributed to multiband superconductivity. The London penetration depth Lambda_ab(T) calculated from the lower critical field does not follow an exponential behavior at low temperatures, as it would be expected for a fully gapped clean s-wave superconductor. Using either a two-band model with s-wave-like gaps of magnitudes Delta_1 = 0.41 +- 0.1meV and Delta_2 = 3.33+- 0.25meV or a single anisotropic s-wave order parameter, the temperature-dependence of the lower critical eld Hc1(T) can be well described. These observations clearly show that the superconducting energy gap in FeSe is nodeless.
