Popis: Tunneling spectroscopy by use of intrinsic Josephson junctions in the Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ δ has provided evidence that the superconducting gap and the pseudogap are definitely different. In underdoped specimens, the tunneling spectrum exhibits two conductance peaks, indicating that the superconducting gap is distinct from the pseudogap. This result is in conflict with some superconductivity models in which the superconducting gap remains finite at T c and connects smoothly with the pseudogap above T c .
