AbstractTunneling spectroscopy of epitaxial (100) oriented chem{YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-delta}} films was performed using an STM at 4.2 K. On atomically smooth areas, tunneling spectra revealing clear U-shaped gaps with relatively low zero bias conductance were measured. These spectra can be well fitted to the tunneling theory into a d-wave superconductor only when introducing a strong dependence of the tunneling probability on the wave-vector emph{ extbf{k}}. Possible origins for this emph{ extbf{k}}-selectivity in STM measurements will be discussed. On other areas, V-shaped gaps as well as zero bias conductance peaks are observed, indicating relaxation of emph{ extbf{k}}-selectivity and the effect of nanofaceting, respectively.
