Abstract

The tunnel conductance G(V) for break junctions made of single-crystal as-grown Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ samples with Tc≈86–89K were measured and clear-cut dip-hump structures (DHSs) were found in the range 80–120mV of the bias voltage V. A theory of tunneling in symmetrical junctions between inhomogeneous charge-density-wave (CDW) superconductors, considered in the framework of the s-pairing model, has been developed. CDWs have been shown to be responsible for the appearance of the DHS in the tunnel current-voltage characteristics and properly describe the experimental results.
