Transport properties of Tl_2Ba_2CaCu_2O_8 microbridges on a low-angle step substrate

Tl-based superconducting devices have been drawn much attention for their high transition temperature(T_c), which allow the high temperature superconductors(HTS) devices to operate at temperature near 100 K. The realization of Tlbased devices will promote the research and application of HTS devices. In this work, we present transport properties of Tl_2 Ba_2 CaCu_2 O_8(Tl-2212) microbridges across a low-angle step on LaAlO_3(LAO) substrate. We experimentally demonstrate intrinsic Josephson effects(IJEs) in Tl-2212 films by tailoring the geometry, i.e., reducing the width of the microbridges. In the case of a 1 μm width microbridge, in addition to the observation of voltage branches and remarkable hysteresis on the current–voltage(I–V) characteristics, the temperature dependence of differential resistance shows a finite resistance above 60 K when the bias current is below the critical current. For comparison, the wider microbridges are also investigated, exhibiting a highly critical current but do not showing obvious IJEs.     

Energy gap suppression and excess current in Tl_2Ba_2CaCu_2O_8 intrinsic Josephson junctions

Intrinsic Josephson junctions in misaligned Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 thin film were fabricated on LaAlO3 substrate. The temperature dependence of the critical current is investigated around liquid nitrogen temperature. In the current voltage characteristic, large voltage jump and lack of resistive branch are observed, which shows good consistency with the intrinsic Josephson junctions. By analyzing the large gap voltage in the curve, great suppression of the energy gap is found. Through discussing the temperature dependence of the gap voltage in liquid nitrogen temperature, it is shown that this phenomenon can be caused by the non-equilibrium quasiparticle injection. The temperature influence on the excess current also confirms the non-equilibrium effect.     

Formation of epitaxial Tl_2Ba_2Ca_2Cu_3O_(10) superconducting films by dc-magnetron sputtering and triple post-annealing method

For obtaining pure phase T12Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 （T1-2223） films with good superconducting properties, the growth technique is improved by dc magnetron sputtering and a triple post-annealing process. The triple post-annealing process comprises annealing twice in argon and once in oxygen at different temperatures. In the first low-temperature annealing phase in argon, T12Ba2CaCu2O8 （T1-2212） is obtained to effectively minimize evaporation in the next step. With the increase of temperature in the second annealing stage in argon, the previously prepared T1-2212 inter-phase is converted into T1-2223 phase. An additional annealing in oxygen is also adopted to improve the properties of T1-2223 films, each containing an optimal oxygen content value. The results of X-ray diffraction （XRD） θ-2θ scans, 09 scans and rotational φ scans show that each of the T1-2223 films has a high phase purity and an epitaxial structure. Smooth films are observed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The critical temperatures Tc of the films are measured to be about 120 K and the critical current densities Jc can reach 4.0 MA/cm2 at 77 K at self field.

Scanning Josephson tunneling microscopy of single-crystal Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8+delta} with a conventional superconducting tip

We have performed both Josephson and quasiparticle tunneling in vacuum tunnel junctions formed between a conventional superconducting scanning tunneling microscope tip and overdoped Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8+delta} single crystals. A Josephson current is observed with a peak centered at a small finite voltage due to the thermal-fluctuation-dominated superconducting phase dynamics. Josephson measurements at different surface locations yield local values for the Josephson I_{C}R_{N} product. Corresponding energy gap measurements were also performed and a surprising inverse correlation was observed between the local I_{C}R_{N} product and the local energy gap.     

Doping-induced change in the interlayer transport mechanism of Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8+delta} near the superconducting transition temperature

We perform a detailed study of temperature, bias, and doping dependence of interlayer transport in the layered high temperature superconductor Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CaCu_{2}O_{8+delta}. We observe that the shape of interlayer characteristics in underdoped crystals exhibits a remarkable crossover at the superconducting transition temperature: from thermal activation-type above T_{c} to almost T-independent quantum tunneling-type below T_{c}. Our data provide insight into the nature of interlayer transport and indicate that its mechanism changes with doping: from the conventional single quasiparticle tunneling in overdoped to a progressively increasing Cooper pair contribution in underdoped crystals.

Effects of thickness on superconducting properties and structures of Y_2O_3/BZO-doped MOD-YBCO films

We report the thickness dependence of critical current density(J c) in YBa2Cu3O7-x(YBCO) films with BaZrO3(BZO) and Y2O3 additions grown on single crystal LaAlO3 substrates by metalorganic deposition using trifluoroacetates(TFA-MOD). Comparing with pure YBCO films, the J c of BZO/Y2O3-doped YBCO films was significantly enhanced. It was also found that with the increase of the thickness of YBCO film from 0.25 μm to 1.5 μm, the I c of BZO/Y2O3-doped YBCO film increased from 130 A/cm to 250 A/cm and yet J c of YBCO film decreased from 6.5 MA/cm2 to 2.5 M A/cm2.The thick BZO/Y2O3-doped MOD-YBCO film showed lower J c, which is mainly attributed to the formation of a-axis grains and pores.     

Fabrication and characterization of Al–Mn superconducting films for applications in TES bolometers

Superconducting transition edge sensor(TES) bolometers require superconducting films to have controllable transition temperatures T_c in different practical applications.The value of T_c strongly affects thermal conductivity and thermal noise performance of TES detectors.Al films doped with Mn(Al-Mn) of different concentrations can accomplish tunable T_(c.)A magnetron sputtering machine is used to deposit the Al-Mn films in this study.Fabrication parameters including sputtering pressure and annealing process are studied and their influences on T_c and superconducting transition width ΔT_c are optimized.The Al-Mn films with ΔT_c below 1.0 mK for T_c in a range of 520 mK-580 mK are successfully fabricated.

Synthesis and microwave properties of TI2Ba2CaCu2O8 superconducting films grown by MOCVD

We report on the synthesis, structural and electrical characterization of high quality Tl₂Ba₂Ca₁Cu₂O₈ (Tl-2212) superconducting films. The samples have been grown ex-situ on mm² LaAlO₃ (100) substrates by a combined approach of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and thallium vapor diffusion. The morphological and compositional nature of the c-axis oriented films has been investigated by SEM and X-ray analyses. Typical values of K and MA/cm² at 77 K have been measured. Microwave measurements have been performed at f = 87 GHz inserting the film in a copper cavity and at f =1.5 GHz on patterned samples using a microstrip resonator technique. A penetration depth nm is evaluated by fitting the microwave data with phenomenological equations. The minimum value of the surface resistance measured at 4.2 K is 60 and 6 m at 1.5 GHz and 87 GHz respectively. The microwave data are described in the context of a modified two fluid model. An evaluation of the temperature dependence of the scattering rate has been performed through the simultaneous measurement of the surface resistance and the penetration depth.

TlBaCaCuO superconducting thin films via metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) and thallium vapour diffusion

Summary Superconducting thin films of the TlBaCaCuO family have been prepared through a combined approach of MOCVD and thallium vapour diffusion. A three-step process has been adopted involving i) the synthesis of Ba−Ca−Cu−O films by MOCVD using ?second-generation? barium and calcium sources, ii) the hydrolysis of the fluoride phases by annealing in water vapour-saturated oxygen and iii) the annealing in the presence of a thallium source. Reproducible results, in terms of phase formation, are discussed depending on the different conditions of the preannealing process. The superconducting films consist predominantly of single-phase Tl₂Ba₂Ca₂Cu₃O _x (2223). Preferential orientation of the crystallitec-axes perpendicular to the substrate surface has been observed. The films exhibit superconducting onset temperatures of 115–120 K with zero resistance higher than 100 K. Paper presented at the ?VII Congresso SATT?, Torino, 4–7 October 1994.

Synthesis of Tl---Ba---Ca---Cu---O superconducting thin films by sequential evaporation and annealing in the absence of an additional thallium source

Although Tl-based superconductors show higher critical temperatures than other compounds, they suffer some disadvantages, such as surface roughness, non-uniform chemical composition, and the need for excess Tl from a separate source during post-deposition annealing. This paper reports a post-deposition annealing process (in the absence of a separate Tl source) of sequentially deposited metallic layers of Tl:Ba:Ca:Cu with excess amount of thallium in the multilayer. The films show uniform chemical composition and smooth surfaces. Critical temperatures as high as 101 K and critical current densities as high as 1.5 × 10⁴ A/ cm² at 77 K in zero magnetic field have been achieved.
