Abstract

We report an angle-resolved photoemission investigation of optimally doped Ca0.33Na0.67Fe2As2. The Fermi surface topology of this compound is similar to that of the well-studied Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 material, except for larger hole pockets resulting from a higher hole concentration per Fe atoms. We find that the quasi-nesting conditions are weakened in this compound compared to Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2. Similar to Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2, we observe nearly isotropic superconducting gaps with Fermi surface-dependent magnitudes for Ca0.33Na0.67Fe2As2. A small variation in the gap size along the momentum direction perpendicular to the surface is found for one of the Fermi surfaces. Our superconducting gap results on all Fermi surface sheets fit simultaneously very well to a global gap function derived from a strong coupling approach, which contains only 2 global parameters.
