Abstract

Normal-metal/insulator/superconductor (NIS) junctions were fabricated using thin films of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x (YBCO) or ErBa ₂Cu₃O_7-x. These were epitaxially grown on single-crystal SrTiO₃ by the activated reactive evaporation method. For some NIS junctions prepared on SrTiO₃ (110) substrates, we observed multipeaks in the differential conductance versus voltage curve. NIS junctions using single-crystal YBCO films on SrTiO₃ (100) showed a set of peaks, from which we obtained a gap parameter of 11.5±1.5 meV at 4.4 K and a coupling constant of 3.2±0.4.
