Abstract:
The current-voltage characteristics and dynamic conductance spectra of Andreev arrays in nearly optimal GdO$_{1-x}$F$_x$FeAs superconductors with the critical temperature $T_{\text{c}}=46{-}50$ K have been studied. A reproducible fine structure that accompanies large gap features and caused by boson emission during the process of multiple Andreev reflections has been observed. At $T=4.2$ K, the bosonic mode energy $\varepsilon_0 = (12 \pm 2)$ meV has been obtained.
