Superconducting properties of SrFe1.85Co0.15As2 single crystals and their parent material, SrFe2As2, were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S). In the parent material, we modeled surface conditions on the in situ cleaved single crystals, based on the observation of 2×1 stripe patterns and \sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2} square-lattice patterns in the atomic-resolution topography images and with the help of local density of states measurements. In the STM/S studies on SrFe1.85Co0.15As2, a robust superconducting gap (2Δlarge=17.3 meV) was observed in the conductance spectra measured along a line on the SrFe1.85Co0.15As2 surface. Moreover, an additional small gap-like (2Δsmall=2.9 meV) structure was simultaneously observed. Our observation corroborates the two-gap structures in iron-based superconductors.
