摘要: Abstract We have carried out several experiments aimed at determining the symmetry of superconducting order parameter Sr 2 RuO 4 . These include measurements single-particle tunneling spectra, Josephson coupling between In or Pb and , critical current quantum interference device (SQUID) samples involving Au 0.5 Our junction resistance on SQUID show that high-quality junctions been achieved.
