Notes:
We have used the break junction method to measure the tunneling gap of a thallium-based high-temperature superconductor crystal in liquid helium at 4 K. The crystal was predominantly Tl2CaBa2Cu2O7 and had a superconducting onset temperature of 105 K. Tunneling data showed a symmetric gap about zero bias between two well-defined conductance peaks in the conductance versus voltage curve. The gap is consistent with a Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer energy gap (Δ) of 30 meV assuming a superconductor-insulator-superconductor electrode configuration. In addition, a supercurrent could be detected when the break junction was operated in a point-contact mode at temperatures as high as 95 K.
