The superconductivity recently found in the doped topological insulator
Cu_xBi_2Se_3 offers a great opportunity to search for a topological
superconductor. We have successfully prepared a single-crystal sample with a
large shielding fraction and measured the specific-heat anomaly associated with
the superconductivity. The temperature dependence of the specific heat suggests
a fully-gapped, strong-coupling superconducting state, but the BCS theory is
not in full agreement with the data, which hints at a possible unconventional
pairing in Cu_xBi_2Se_3. Also, the evaluated effective mass of 2.6m_e (m_e is
the free electron mass) points to a large mass enhancement in this material.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
