Abstract

Tunneling measurements were applied to investigate the density of states of the high Tc superconductor in the temperature range from 4.2 K to the transition temperature. Several structures were found in conductance curves in higher bias region than ever reported, and they vanished around Tc. Temperature dependence of the bias voltages at which these structures appeared showed the BCS-like behavior.
