要 旨 :
TTunneling spectroscopy is presented for a variety of high temperature superconducting cuprates. The data for electron doped compounds such as Nd-Ce-Cu-O which have a relatively low Tc = 22K are consistent with an s-wave energy gap and ordinary phonon mediated pairing. However, the tunneling data for hole-doped cuprates such as Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (Bi2212) with an optimal Tc = 95 K are more consistent with a d-wave energy gap. The doping dependence of the energy gap parameter in Bi2212 is anomalous, increasing to very large values in the underdoped regime even as Tc decreases. This gap parameter follows the trend of the antiferromagnetic exchange energy, J, which indicates that the pairing is of magnetic origin.  The high bias tunneling spectra reveal a dip feature that is often quite pronounced and may be related to the resonance peak in the magnetic excitations probed by neutron scattering. Also, the high bias features include a secondary peak which might be an indication of a competing pseudogap of magnetic origin.
