Abstract
We present tunneling results on tri-layered cuprate superconductors TlBa2Ca2Cu3O8.5+δ (Tl1223) with two different hole concentration, which are an over-doped Tl1223 with TC ∼ 112 K (OD-112K) and a slightly over-doped Tl1223 with TC ∼ 126 K (SOD-126K). The tunneling conductances on both samples exhibited two sizes of gaps originated from outer (OP) and inner (IP) CuO2 planes. The superconducting gap at each planes, Δ(OP)/e ≈Vp(OP) and Δ(IP)/e ≈Vp(IP) on OD-112K are observed that Vp(OP) is 22 ± 2 mV and Vp(IP) is 37 ± 4 mV. Similarly, Vp(OP) is 26 ± 2 mV and Vp(IP) is 39 ± 3 mV on SOD-126K. Although both Vp(OP) and Vp(IP) decrease with increasing oxygen contents, ΔVp(OP) = Vp(OP)(SOD-126K) - Vp(OP)(OD-112K) is larger than ΔVp(IP) for IP. Moreover, ΔVp(plane) Vp(IP) - Vp(OP) increases with overdoping. These results as a function of doping implies the OP might control the variation of TC dominantly.
