Аннотация:We report the first observation of the intrinsic multiple Andreev reflections effect (IMARE) in S-n-S-…-S-arrays (S = superconductor, n = normal metal) formed by “break-junction” technique in GdO(F)FeAs superconductor (Tc = 48÷53 K). We show that superconducting gap peculiarities at dI/dV-spectra sharpen dramatically in the arrays as compared with that in the single-contact spectra; this enables to improve significantly accuracy of the bulk superconducting parameters determination. Using IMARE, we determined the large and the small gap values Δ_L = 11.0 ± 1.1 meV and Δ_S = 2.6 ± 0.4 meV. The BCS-ratio 2Δ_L/kTc^local = 5.0 ÷ 5.9 > 3.52 (Tc^local is the contact area critical temperature) evidences for a strong electron-boson coupling. The results obtained agree well with our previous data by Andreev spectroscopy for single SnS-contacts.
