Abstract

The Andreev reflection measurements of the superconducting energy gap in the carbon-substituted MgB2 are presented. Despite the strong suppression of the transition temperature by 17 K in comparison with the pure MgB2, the same reduced value of the small superconducting energy gap with 2Δ/kTc ≈ 1.7 has been systematically observed. This indicates that the two band/two gap superconductivity is still preserved here.
