Abstract
Tunneling measurements are reported for break junctions on single crystals with various oxygen concentrations. Superconducting energy gaps are observed in the underdoped samples which are considerably larger than found in optimal doped crystals. The trend of decreasing and with increasing hole doping is continued into the overdoped region. Thus the superconducting gap and strong-coupling ratio change monotonically and dramatically over a narrow doping region where exhibits a maximum.
