On Transmission Line Resonances in High TC dc SQUIDs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study transmission line resonances in high TC dc SQUIDs. These resonances are exhibited in the characteristics of SQUIDs which are fabricated on substrates with high dielectric constant, such as strontium titanate. The power balance equation is analytically derived both for symmetric and asymmetric SQUIDs. Using this, we investigate SQUID current voltage I(V ), voltage flux V (Φ) and voltage modulation ∆V characteristics.

Improving high-Tc dc-SQUID performance by junction asymmetry
We study noise and noise energy of a high-Tc dc SQUID fabricated on a high-ǫR substrate whose conduction properties are given by transmission line physics. We show that transmission line resonances greatly enhance the noise. Remarkably, resistance asymmetry enhances these resonances even more. However, as the transfer function (dc dφ ) scales the same way, the noise energy is reduced by asymmet...
متن کاملd-wave induced zero-field resonances in dc pi-superconducting quantum interference devices.
A dc pi SQUID consists of a superconducting ring interrupted by two Josephson junctions, one of which carries in equilibrium a pi phase difference, caused, for example, by the d-wave pairing symmetry of the high- T(c) cuprates. If this phase shift is maintained in the voltage state, anomalous resonance currents are expected in the SQUIDs transport characteristics. Here we report the observation...
متن کاملControlled preparation of all high-Tc SNS-type edge junctions and DC SQUIDs
High-T c SNS-type Josephson junctions and DC SQUIDs were successfully fabricated using hetero-epitaxially grown multilayers of YBa2Cu3Ox and PrBa2Cu3Ox. These layers are c-axis oriented and hence edges of the muir[layers give rise to a current flow in the ab-plane between the electrodes of a Josephson junction. The necessary structuring was done by Ar ion beam etching. The individual junctions ...
متن کاملVoltage-flux-characteristics of asymmetric dc SQUIDs
We present a detailed analysis of voltage-flux V (Φ)-characteristics for asymmetric dc SQUIDs with various kinds of asymmetries. For finite asymmetry αI in the critical currents of the two Josephson junctions, the minima in the V (Φ)-characteristics for bias currents of opposite polarity are shifted along the flux axis by ∆Φ = αIβL relative to each other; βL is the screening parameter. This sim...
متن کاملPROPERTIES OF LIFT - OFF STRUCTURED HIGH Tc MICROBRIDGES
Microbridges and dc-SQUIDS were fabricated in lift-off technique from rf sputtered YBaCuO films on MgO single crystal substrates. Microwave measurements at 9GHz on microbridges and the magnetic field dependence of their critical current reveal wide bridge behavior up to temperatures near the maximum operating temperature of the bridge. Mostly a linear dependence of the critical current on the t...
