摘要
In this letter we present new tunneling data on YBa2Cu3O7 thin films by low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Unusual peak-dip-hump features, previously reported in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta, are also found in YBa2Cu3O7. To analyse these common sig natures, we propose a new heuristic model in which, in addition to thp d-wave symmetry, the gap function is energy dependent. A simple expression for the quasiparticle density of states is derived, giving an excellent agreement with the experiment. The dynamics of the quasiparticle states and the energy scales involved in the superconducting transition are discussed.
