Low-temperature specific heat (SH) is measured for the 12442-type KCa2Fe4As4F2 single crystal under different magnetic fields. A clear SH jump with the height of ΔC/T|Tc = 130 mJ moL−1 K−2 is observed at the superconducting transition temperature Tc. It is found that the electronic SH coefficient ∆γ(H) quickly increases when the field is in the low-field region below 3 T and then considerably slows down the increase with a further increase in the field, which indicates a rather strong anisotropy or multi-gap feature with a small minimum in the superconducting gap(s). The temperature-dependent SH data indicate the presence of the T2 term, which supplies further information and supports the picture with a line-nodal gap structure. Moreover, the onset point of the SH transition remains almost unchanged under the field as high as 9 T, which is similar to that observed in cuprates, and places this system in the middle between the BCS limit and the Bose-Einstein condensation.
