Superconductor-normal-superconductor (SNS) edge junctions consisting of YBa2Cu3O7/
YBa2Cu2. 79Co0. 21O7− x/YBa2Cu3O7 were fabricated on (001) YSZ substrates using …

The use of ramp-type junctions is not only limited to the fabrication of Josephson junctions
for ultrafast high-temperature superconducting electronics but is also well suited for the …

Abstract We have fabricated YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x (YBCO)/Au/Ag/PbIn edge junctions using in-
plane aligned a-axis oriented films in order to study the anisotropic coupling between YBCO …

The microstructure of YBCO/SrRuO3/YBCO junctions in the edge geometry have been
studied by high resolution electron microscopy. Various defects in the YBCO and SrRuO3 …

The microstructures of YBCO/N/YBCO ramp-edge junctions have been studied by
transmission electron microscopy and related to supercurrent transport properties which …

Electromagnetic transport measurements were combined with high-resolution electron
microscopy observations to study the relation between structure and local critical currents in …

Due to their layered planar structure, cuprate oxide superconductors possess remarkable
anisotropic properties which may be related to their high transition temperatures. In-plane …

At present, of superconductors with an unconventional superconductivity mechanism, only
the high-Tc cuprates represent a materials base for Josephson junctions (JJs) that have …
