Abstract

AbstractWe have fabricated tunnel junctions between chemically etched single crystals of YBa2Cu3O7-δ and evaporated metal counterelectrodes which exhibit reproducible characteristics. Above the bulk critical temperature of YBa2Cu3O7-δ, Tc, the conductance, G(V), has a linear dependence with voltage and has some asymmetry. Below Tc, additional structure associated with the superconductivity appears in G(V). At T>>Tc there is a reproducible finite zero bias conductance.
