This is a revised version of the first edition published in 1991. At the same time, this is a
revised version of the Syokabo edition, which was written in Japanese and published in …

Since the discovery of the high-transition-temperature superconductors (HTSs), researchers
have explored many methods to fabricate superconducting tunnel junctions from these …

Reproducible planar tunnel junctions based on high-quality YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 thin films are
studied as a junction of crystallographic orientation. Using Pb as a counter-electrode, all …

The midgap surface states predicted previously to exist on non-{n 0 m} surfaces of dxa 2− xb
2-wave superconductors (SC's) can be extended to midgap interface states (MIS's), which …

The occurrence of zero-bias anomalies (ZBAs) in the current-voltage and conductance-
voltage characteristics of high-critical-temperature superconductors (HTS) is reviewed …

We have investigated the competing roles of intralayer s-wave and interlayer BCS-like
pairing in determining the c-axis versus ab-plane energy-gap anisotropy in layered …

Tunneling spectroscopy measurements were carried out on surfaces of polycrystal Tl-Ba-Ca-
Cu-O superconductors of two stoichiometric compositions (2212 and 2223). Broad gap-like …

We have examined the zero-bias conductance peak that is often found in high-temperature-
superconductor tunnel-junction spectra. We have also measured the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O thin-film …

Good correspondence between the structure in the tunneling conductance curve and the
phonon density of states shows that they are really due to phonons at least in a single …

We present Josephson junctions fabricated from high transition temperature superconductor
YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 coupled to spiral THz antennas. The fabrication process involves creating a …
