Abstract

Giaever tunneling measurements have been applied to investigate the electronic structures of the high Tc superconductor YB2Cu3Oy near Tc. The superconducting energy gap of 17 meV was observed in V-dl/dv curve at 77 K. In the light of BCS model, 2Δ0Δ/kBTc was estimated as 3.3. Several dip structures were observed in the bias region up to 0.5 eV in V-dl/dV curve, using the 3rd derivative analysis. Through the temperature dependence, these structures were found to be associated with the superconductivity.
