Abstruct-Instrinsic Josephson bridges have been patterned in films of T12Ba2CaCu208. Due to our device geometry we have used films that are misaligned at 20" to the substrate surface. This misalignment has been confirmed using four-circle x-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. Our films still retain a high critical temperature (108K) despite their misalignment. The resistive anisotropy of the film is comparable to single crystal data. The product of the critical current and normal state resistance is equal to 14mV at 4.2K and is independent of the critical current density. These two achievements are attributed to the lack of engineered interfaces in our intrinsic junctions. A run-to-run variation in the critical current is explained by the presence of nonJosephson shunts in the junction. Junctions with fewer nonJosephson shunts show greater hysteresis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
