Аннотация
New tunneling data are reported in ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{CaCu}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{8+\ensuremath{\delta}}$ which show quasiparticle excitation gaps, \ensuremath{\Delta}, reaching values as high as 60 meV for underdoped crystals with ${T}_{c}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}70\mathrm{K}$. These energy gaps are nearly 3 times larger than those of overdoped crystals with similar ${T}_{c}$. Despite the large differences in gap magnitude, the tunneling spectra display qualitatively similar characteristics over the entire doping range. Detailed examination of the spectra, including the Josephson ${I}_{c}{R}_{n}$ product measured in break junctions, indicates that these energy gaps are predominantly of superconducting origin.
