Abstract

We report on tunneling spectroscopy measurements using a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) on the spin triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4. We find a negligible density of states close to the Fermi level and a fully opened gap with a value of Δ\Delta=0.28 meV, which disappears at Tc_c = 1.5 K. Δ\Delta is close to the result expected from weak coupling BCS theory (Δ0\Delta_0=1.76kBTc_c = 0.229 meV). Odd parity superconductivity is associated with a fully isotropic gap without nodes over a significant part of the Fermi surface.
