By combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and in-situ molecular beam epitaxy, we studied the momentum-resolved superconductivity in b-Bi2 Pd film. We found that the superconducting gap of topological surface state(DTSS$ 3.8 meV) is anomalously enhanced from its bulk value(Db$ 0.8 meV). The ratio of 2 DTSS/kBTc$ 16.3, is substantially larger than the BCS value. By measuring b-Bi2 Pd bulk single crystal as a comparison, we clearly observed the upward-shift of chemical potential in the film. In addition, a concomitant increasing of surface weight on the topological surface state was revealed by our first principle calculation, suggesting that the Dirac-fermion-mediated parity mixing may cause this anomalous superconducting enhancement. Our results establish b-Bi2 Pd film as a unique case of connate TSCs with a highly enhanced topological superconducting gap, which may stabilize Majorana zero modes at a higher temperature.展开更多
