Abstract

$Pb/Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$-single-crystal junctions with the tunneling direction along the c axis of the crystal were fabricated to obtain an s-wave-superconductor/d-wave-superconductor Josephson junctions. The tunneling R (T) curves and current-voltage characteristics show distinct features which can be explained only under the assumption that the order parameter of high-$T_c/Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+{\delta}}$ superconductors has a pure d-wave symmetry, which is in contrast to the case of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7+{\delta$}}$erconductors where a minor s-wave component is also present..
