Sub-Micron Thin Film Intrinsic Josephson Junctions

چکیده
We have fabricated sub-micron intrinsic Josephson junctions in thin films of Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O using two differing techniques suited to different applications. By using lateral focussed ion-beam milling we have created arrays of intrinsic junctions in -axis oriented films. Such arrays, with areas as low as 0.25 m, display large hysteresis comparable to that observed in single-crystal intrinsic junctions. By using normal focussed ion-beam milling we have created arrays in mis-aligned films grown on vicinal substrates. In arrays of area less than 0.4 m we observe Josephson phase diffusion and a suppressed critical current, showing that charging effects may be significant in these junctions.

Nonlinear response of a thin metamaterial film containing Josephson junctions
An interaction of electromagnetic field with metamaterial thin film containing split-ring resonators with Josephson junctions is considered. It is shown that dynamical self-inductance in a split rings results in reduction of magnetic flux through a ring and this reduction is proportional to a time derivative of split ring magnetization. Evolution of thin film magnetization taking into account d...
متن کاملEffect of current injection into thin-film Josephson junctions
New thin-film Josephson junctions have recently been tested in which the current injected into one of the junction banks governs Josephson phenomena. One thus can continuously manage the phase distribution at the junction by changing the injected current. A method of calculating the distribution of injected currents is proposed for a half-infinite thin-film strip with source-sink points at arbi...
متن کاملDouble-Barrier Josephson Junctions: Theory and Experiment
New theoretical and experimental results on double-barrier SIS’IS Josephson junctions are presented (1 is a tunnel barrier, S’ is a thin film with critical temperature lower than that of S). The previously developed microscopic model for the stationary case, which describes the critical currents in Nb/AI/Nb junctions, is extended to the non-equilibrium regime of finite voltage. In particular, a...
متن کاملTexture and electrical dynamics of micrometer and submicrometer bridges in misaligned Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 films
Different thin Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 layers were grown on 20° vicinal cut LaAlO3 substrates by means of a two-step process. SEM pictures showed that thin film layers with a thickness smaller than 150 nm grow completely in the 20° misalignment given by the substrate but they also show few holes in the films. Thicker layers showed areas of c-axis growth beneath the expected misaligned texture whereas the...
