Systematic studies of the NdFeAsOF superconducting energy gap using point-contact Andreev-reflection (PCAR) spectroscopy are presented. At low temperatures the PCAR conductance spectra show a pair of gap-like peaks at about +/-(4-7) mV and in most cases also a pair of humps at around +/- 10 mV. Fits to the s-wave two-gap model of the PCAR conductance allowed to determine two superconducting energy gaps in the system. However, the energy-gap features disappear at T* = 15-20 K, much below the particular T-c of the junction under study. At T* a zero-bias conductance (ZBC) peak emerges, which at higher temperatures usually overwhelms the spectrum with an intensity significantly higher than the conductance signal at lower temperatures. Possible causes of this unexpected temperature effect are discussed. In some cases the conductance spectra show just a reduced conductance around the zero-bias voltage, the effect persisting well above the bulk transition temperature. This indicates the presence of a pseudogap in the system.
