Abstract

We report on an extensive experimental and numerical study of the low-energy electronic properties of superconducting FeSe single crystals, using point-contact Andreev reflection Spectroscopy (PCAR), specific heat, and London penetration depth measurements. Taking explicitly into account Fermi surface anisotropy and recently suggested orbital-selective quasiparticle spectral weights Zi (i=dxy,dx2-y2,dxz,dyz,dz2), our calculations quantitatively account for all our measurements as well as data from the literature, assuming that Zyz>Zxz>Zxy. This study confirms the picture of a highly different quantum coherence of the Fe orbitals at the Fermi energy. In particular, the normal state properties (Sommerfeld coefficient and zero-temperature London penetration depth) strongly depend on the Zi values, which seem to be significantly sensitive to disorder.
