摘要: Results are presented on the fabrication and characterization of high critical temperature Josephson junctions in thin films YBa2Cu3O7−δ produced by process focused electron-beam irradiation using 350 keV electrons. The so have uniform spatial current densities, can be described terms resistive shunted junction model, their densities tailored for a given operating temperature. physical properties damaged barrier as superconducting material either reduced or zero (Tc), which has length ∼15 nm. Tc reduction is caused primarily oxygen Frenkel defects Cu–O planes. large beam currents used mean that extent limited incident diameter, rather than scattering within film. calculated superconductor/normal/superconductor (SNS) model with no bound...
