Abstract
Dynamic resistance spectra of ramp junctions made of underdoped YBCO electrodes and Ga-doped YBCO barrier are reported. Series of equidistant peaks were observed in these spectra in junctions oriented along the node direction. Junctions with different barrier thickness dN, showed that the distance between adjacent peaks scales inversely with dN. The peaks were thus identified as due to McMillan-Rowell like oscillations in the barrier. Analysis of the series of peaks yields an upper limit of about 3.7 meV on the value of the energy gap along the node. We attribute this small gap to the complex s component of the order parameter of underdoped YBCO near the interface of the junctions.
