  We have studied quasiparticle tunneling into atomically flat a-axis films of
YBa2Cu3O7-d and DyBa2Cu3O7-d through epitaxial CaTiO3 barriers. The junction
heterostructures were grown by oxide molecular beam epitaxy and were carefully
optimized using in-situ monitoring techniques, resulting in unprecedented
crystalline perfection of the superconductor/insulator interface. Below Tc, the
tunneling conductance shows the evolution of a large unexpected asymmetrical
feature near zero bias. This is evidence that superconducting YBCO crystals,
atomically truncated along the lobe direction with a titanate layer, have
intrinsically broken particle-hole symmetry over macroscopically large areas.
