Abstract
We present tunneling measurements into films at various doping levels around the optimum. We find that, above a certain doping level near optimum doping, a spontaneous zero bias conductance peak splitting, , appears. It increases with doping. It also increases with magnetic field applied along the axis, for both underdoped and overdoped films. The low field susceptibility is maximum, possibly diverging when the spontaneous value of goes to zero. These results suggest a transition from a pure to a or order parameter.
