Y - Ba - Cu - 0 / Au / Nb Ramp - type Josephson Junctions

چکیده
Ramp-type junctions connecting the d-wave superconductor YBazCu307.s and the s-wave superconductor niobium are fabricated using a thin gold layer as a chemical barrier. High critical current densities exceeding 5 kA/cm2 are obtained. The normal state resistivity (R,& values of the junctions are of the order of 0.1 pQ cm'. The magnetic field behavior of the critical current of junctions oriented in the [lOC]and in the [Ill!]-direction of the YBazCu307.s is explained in terms of a predominant dxz.yz order parameter in the high-T, superconductor.

Imaging of order parameter induced pi phase shifts in cuprate superconductors by low-temperature scanning electron microscopy.
Low-temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM) has been used to image the supercurrent distribution in ramp-type Josephson junctions between Nb and either the electron-doped cuprate Nd_{2-x}Ce_{x}CuO_{4-y} or the hole-doped cuprate YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7}. For zigzag-shaped devices in the short junction limit the critical current is strongly suppressed at zero applied magnetic field. The LTSEM...
متن کاملd-Wave-induced Josephson current counterflow in YBa2Cu3O7/Nb zigzag junctions.
Well-defined zigzag-shaped ramp-type Josephson junctions between YBa2Cu3O7 and Nb have been studied. The magnetic field dependencies of the critical currents provide evidence for d-wave--induced alternations in the direction of the Josephson current between neighboring sides of the zigzag structure. The arrays present controllable model systems to study the influences of pi facets in high-angle...
متن کامل0-pi Josephson tunnel junctions with ferromagnetic barrier.
We fabricated high quality Nb/Al2O3/Ni(0.6)Cu(0.4)/Nb superconductor-insulator-ferromagnet-superconductor Josephson tunnel junctions. Using a ferromagnetic layer with a steplike thickness, we obtain a 0-pi junction, with equal lengths and critical currents of 0 and pi parts. The ground state of our 330 microm (1.3lambda(J)) long junction corresponds to a spontaneous vortex of supercurrent pinne...

متن کاملTransport properties of Nb/PdNi bilayers and Nb/PdNi/Nb Josephson junctions
The superconducting proximity effect was examined in both Nb/PdNi (SF) bilayer films and Nb/PdNi/Nb (SFS) Josephson junctions. In Nb/PdNi bilayer films, nonmonotonic behavior of Tc was observed as a function of PdNi thickness dF. The effective exchange energy Eex extracted from the data was about 13 meV. In Nb/PdNi/Nb (SFS) Josephson junctions, the existence of a crossover between the 0 state a...
