Popis: We have prepared Ag / BSCCO and Fe / Ag / BSCCO planar junctions to study the effect of Fe exchange field on the tunneling spectra. The junctions were constructed so that the tunneling direction is within the ab-plane, either along the maximum or minimum gap direction. Andreev bound states were observed as zero energy peak in the minimum gap direction. The exchange field caused major splitting of the zero energy peak, which did not occur in Ag / BSCCO junctions. We had detected a few percent (6 to 7%) of s-wave subcomponent at the interface in many of these junctions. This s-wave subcomponent had a Tc of about 20K.
