Abstract
present intrinsic tunneling spectroscopy measurements on small Bi2Sr2CaCu2O 8+x,, mesas. The tunnel conductance curves show both sharp peaks at the sup erconducting gap voltage and broad humps representing the c-axis pseudogap, The superconducting gap vanishes at T-c, while the pseudogap exists both a bove and below T-c. Our observation implies that the superconducting and ps eudogaps represent different coexisting phenomena.
