A. Plecenik et al., MODIFICATION OF YBA2CU3O7-DELTA-AU POINT-CONTACT INTERFACE PROPERTIESBY APPLIED ELECTRIC VOLTAGE, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 218(1-4), 1996, pp. 209-212
We have investigated the behaviour of differential conductance of YBa2
Cu3O7-delta-Au point contacts depending on applied bias voltage. The c
hange of differential conductance of YBa2Cu3O7-delta-Au contact from t
unneling to metallic type and vice versa, are present. These effects w
e explain in terms of oxygen replacement in the unit cell of high T-c
superconductor in close proximity to the contact.
