Fermi surface of iron-based superconductor, Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 (Tc=35 K), measured by high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Near the center Γ(0,0) point, two hole-like Fermi surface sheets are observed while near the corner M(ß,ß) point, two strong Fermi spots are observed. The two Fermi surface sheets near the Γ point show different superconducting gap: the inner one shows larger gap (10 ― 12 meV) while the outer one has a smaller gap (7 ― 8 meV). No gap node is observed on both Fermi surface sheets which is consistent with s-wave superconducting gap symmetry. Superconducting gap opening is also observed at the M(π,π) point with a gap size of 10 meV. The two Fermi surface spots near the M point are gapped below Tc but the gap persists above Tc. The rich and detailed superconducting gap information will provide key insights in understanding pairing mechanism in the iron-based superconductors.
