Abstract
We present intrinsic tunneling spectroscopy measurements on small mesas. The tunnel conductance curves show both sharp peaks at the superconducting gap voltage and broad humps representing the -axis pseudogap. The superconducting gap vanishes at , while the pseudogap exists both above and below . Our observation implies that the superconducting and pseudogaps represent different coexisting phenomena.
