Abstract

Reported here are the results of point-contact electron-tunneling measurements in the high-Tc superconductors YBa2Cu3O7−δ and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10+δ. The ratio 2Δ/kTc is 4.0–5.8 (probability maximum near 4.8) for Y-Ba-Cu-O and 4.6 for Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O. Both are consistent with strong-coupling superconductivity. The measurements at 600 different locations of the same sample of YBa2Cu3O7−δ were performed. The energy distribution of energy gaps with the regularity of the ratio 1:3:5 reported by Kirk et al. have not been seen in our experiment.
