The interfaces in ramp-type YBa2Cu3Ox/PrBa2Cu3Ox/YBa2Cu3Ox Josephson junctions with different ramp slopes were characterized electrically and structurally. From the cross-sectional TEM images, it has been found that the epitaxy remains through all layers even on the ramp surface, providing the ramp angle is less than 45°. No big defects such as grain boundaries and secondary phases occurred at the interface. The major defects which appeared at the interface are antiphase boundaries which were formed by lattice shifts with c/3 unit between PrBa2Cu3Ox and YBa2Cu3Ox. The interface between YBa2Cu3Ox base-layer and PrBa2Cu3Ox barrier is more defective in comparison with that between PrBa2Cu3Ox barrier and top-layer. Alteration of the ramp slope from 10° to 45° leads to a significant increase in the density of defects near the base-YBa2Cu3Ox/PrBa2Cu3Ox interface. The average roughness of the ramp surface created by ion milling is about 10 nm, which seems insensitive to the ramp slope. The damaged ramp surface could be repaired during the subsequent deposition process, leading to a negligible interface resistance. 相似文献

YBa2Cu3O7/PrBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO/PBCO) superlattices with a different ratio of the superconducting and insulating layer thicknesses were prepared by high pressure dc sputtering. The vortex-creep activation energy U0 was determined by analyzing the in-plane resistive transition of 200 μm wide bridges with the external magnetic field B oriented along the c axis. It was found that U0 is proportional to the thickness of the YBCO layers, and does only weakly depend on the PBCO layer thickness, when the latter exceeds two unit cells. We observed a change in the variation of U0 with the current I in the specimen: U0 exhibits a plateau in the low-I region, then decreases significantly with increasing I. This behaviour is explained in terms of a crossover plastic vortex creep – elastic (collective) creep induced by the transport current. 相似文献

The ac-Josephson effect could be demonstrated up to dc voltages of 20 mV on the I–V characteristic of adjustable YBa2Cu3O7/YBa2Cu3O7 point contacts at 4.2 K. A detailed analysis of the rf power dependence of the size of microwave-induced constant voltage steps is given for microwave frequencies of 70 and 90 GHz. The results prove that electron pairing is responsible for the superconductivity in YBa2Cu3O7. 相似文献

The escape rate from the zero voltage state in a superconducting Josephson junction (JJ) is determined by the temperature, but it saturates at low temperature due to macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT). Complications due to d-wave symmetry in a high temperature superconductor, like low energy quasiparticles and an unconventional current-phase relation, may influence the escape rate. We report, for the first time to our knowledge, the observation of MQT in a YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7-delta) grain boundary biepitaxial JJ. This proves that dissipation can be significantly reduced by a proper junction configuration, which is of significance for quantum coherence. 相似文献

Adjustable YBa2Cu3O7/PbSn point contact Josephson junctions are exposed to a microwave field. The current voltage characteristics of the junctions show microwave-induced constant voltage steps. The power dependence of the current width of the steps is well described by the Bessel function behaviour. This clearly demonstrates the presence of macroscopic quantum effects in the new highT
