Abstract
We report on high quality planar junctions fabricated from well characterized c-axis quasi-homoepitaxial NdBa2 Cu3O7−δ/PrBa2Cu3O7−δ/NdBa2Cu3O7−δ multilayers. C-axis tunneling spectroscopy investigations provide evidence of quasiparticle tunneling that is commonly observed for superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) junctions. We observed a temperature dependent BCS like gap giving 2Δ/KBTc=6. The tunneling conductance dI/dV of the junctions in parallel magnetic field reveals an anomalous splitting of the superconducting quasiparticle density of states. The magnitude of the splitting can be related to the magnetic moment of the quasiparticles.
