摘要: Point contact junctions made from two pieces of MgB2 can be adjusted to exhibit either superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) or superconductor-normal metal–superconductor (SNS) current–voltage characteristics. The SIS characteristics are in good agreement with the standard tunneling model for s-wave superconductors, and yield an energy gap (2.02±0.08) meV. SNS predictions resistively-shunted junction model. DC superconducting quantum interference devices magnetic flux field noise as low 4 μΦ0 Hz−1/2 35 fT Hz−1/2 at 19 K; Φ0 is quantum.
