In order to clarify the inhomogeneous electronic structures responsible for high critical current densities (J_c) in high T_c superconductors, we have performed scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) on NdBaCuO and Pb-doped BiSrCaCuO, being promising candidates for practical high J_c materials, at low temperatures below T_cIn NdBaCuO, we reproducibly found a clear. superconducting gap structure with 2Δ〜50 meV, which is in agreement with the literature data. The shape of the background conductance is fairly flat, contrary to the most of the tunneling data of the Y123 exhibiting the parabolic one. On the as-cleaved surfaces, we have frequently seen narrow spatial regions with in-gap conductance peaks, possibly originating from quasi-particle scattering by atomic scale defects, such as oxygen vacancy. These regions are thought to act as strong pinning centers.In Pb-doped BiSrCaCuO, we have succeeded in visualizing phase separation into Pb-poor and Pb-rich regions. From the STM/STS measurements around liquid nitrogen temperature, it has been revealed that the former has higher T_c than the latter. In addition, the interface between two regions are quite sharp, 〜several nm. Therefore, it is expected that the interfaces effectively trap vortices particularly at higher temperatures.

In order to clarify the inhomogeneous electronic structures responsible for high critical current densities (J_c) in high T_c superconductors, we have performed scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) on NdBaCuO and Pb-doped BiSrCaCuO, being promising candidates for practical high J_c materials, at low temperatures below T_cIn NdBaCuO,我们可重复地找到了一个清晰的。具有2δ〜50 MEV的超导间隙结构，这与文献数据一致。背景电导的形状相当平坦，与Y123的大多数隧道数据形成鲜明对比。在裂开的表面上，我们经常看到狭窄的空间区域具有间隙电导峰，可能源自原子尺度缺陷（例如氧空位），源自准粒子散射。这些区域被认为是强大的固定中心。在PB掺杂的Bisrcacuo中，我们成功地将相位分离成PB poor和PB富含PB的区域。从液体氮温度周围的STM/STS测量值中，已经发现前者的T_C高于后者。另外，两个区域之间的界面非常尖锐，〜几个nm。因此，预计该界面有效地捕获了涡流，尤其是在较高温度下。
