(color online) (a) Spectra with varying from 0.2 G to 410 . (b) Fitting some normalized spectra to a modified two-gap BTK model. The gap function is the same as that used in Figs. 2. (c)–(f) Fitting parameters plotted as the function of , including larger gap and smaller gap in panel (c), spectral weight contributed from (P) in panel (d), broadening factor in panel (e), and effective barrier Z in panel (f). Dotted lines indicate the transition region. All data presented here were taken at T = 2.4 K.
