Detailed tunneling characteristics of a stack of intrinsic Josephson junctions in a Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+x single crystal were obtained both in spin-degenerate and spin-polarized bias configurations. Injection of the spin-polarized quasiparticles effectively weakened the in-plane superconducting strength and the interlayer Jospehson coupling. The superconducting gap and the Josephson critical current of the stack were, in general, further suppressed by an external field applied in parallel with the c-axis direction. Study of the spin-dependent tunneling characteristics may provide valuable information on clarifying the mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity as well as the interlayer phase fluctuation induced by the "pancake vortices" on CuO 2 layers.

It is shown that the single particle band motion along the c axis is harmful for superconductivity in anisotropic systems. Variation of T c with c axis hopping parameter is shown for both the conventional Josephson coupled, planar superconductors and for interlayer pair tunneling mechanism of Wheatley, Hsu, and Anderson (WHA). Effect of out-of-plane magnetic impurity substitution is shown to suppress T c more for conventional superconductors whereas there is a very sharp decrease of T c in the WHA mechanism at larger concentrations.
