Abstract

Single-particle tunneling spectroscopy between a CeCu2Si2 ingot and a Pb film is presented. The observed dynamic tunnel resistance as a function of junction voltage under an applied magnetic field shows an asymmetric behavior typical of valence-fluctuation compounds. Below the transition temperature of CeCu2Si2 under no magnetic field, a series of small structures related to CeCu2Si2 gap properties develop. The result suggests that CeCu2Si2 may be a singlet d-wave superconductor according to the tunnel calculation of Tachiki, Nakahara, and Teshima.
