摘要
An unusual technique utilizing the two-dimensional junction configuration is introduced to study the pairing symmetry of a YBa2Cu3O7-y cuprate superconductor. The zero bias conductance peak due to the Andreev bound states was measured for the YBa2Cu3O7-y/I/Ag ramp-edge tunnel junctions with different crystal-interface boundary angles fabricated on the same chip. It was found to develop monotonically as the angle was increased and became a maximum at 45 degrees. Two gaplike structures were also found at the intermediate angle of 30 degrees. The result implies that d(x2-y2)-wave pairing symmetry predominates in this cuprate.
