    Notes: We have fabricated and measured the properties of micron-size single grain boundary junctions and dc superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs). The width of the junctions was varied between 0.25 and 2 μm. The junctions were formed in c-axis oriented epitaxial films with a single 24° tilt boundary. They were fabricated using electron beam lithography and ion milling. All of the junctions operate at 77 K. The noise properties of SQUIDs made of these junctions have been characterized. They show a significant 1/f component which is comparable to published values. However, the white noise level, 3×10−31 J/Hz measured at 77 K, is the lowest ever reported.

    Notes: We report the first spatially resolved measurement of the critical transport current density of c-axis oriented epitaxial Y1Ba2Cu3O7 films on 〈100〉 SrTiO3 using low-temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM). The local critical current density, imaged with a spatial resolution of ∼1 μm, has been found to vary considerably in these films. Possible reasons for the observed spatial inhomogeneities are surface imperfections of the substrate and precipitates in the film. The spatial inhomogeneity of the critical current density in epitaxial films might be a reason for differences in the temperature dependences of the critical current density obtained by magnetic and transport measurements.

    Notes: We have made measurements of the T dependence of microwave absorption (at 22.7 GHz) in films of Y1Ba2Cu3Ox on SrTiO3 and LaGaO3 substrates. The superconducting transition temperatures were near 90 K. The film on SrTiO3 had predominantly c axis normal to the film, while the film on LaGaO3 was partially a axis oriented. The microwave losses L for both films followed the temperature dependence given by L∝t/(square root of)1−t, with t=T/Tc. In the macroscopic theory of Ginzburg–Landau, this expression is proportional to the number of normal electrons within a penetration depth of the surface of the film, provided (1−t)(very-much-less-than)1. However, we find that the above expression fits the data well for a wide range of T.

    Notes: We have fabricated YBa2Cu3O7−δ grain boundary junction dc superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) with a square washer geometry design. The SQUIDs were formed in c-axis oriented epitaxial films with a single grain boundary of predetermined nature. These SQUIDs show perfectly periodic voltage-flux characteristics without hysteresis from 4.2 to 87 K. At 77 K intrinsic energy sensitivities of 1.5×10−30 and 3.0×10−30 J/Hz at 10 kHz were obtained for 60 and 110 pH SQUIDs, respectively. The intrinsic energy sensitivity limited by 1/f noise at 10 Hz was 1.2×10−28 and 5.5×10−28 J/Hz. The SQUID voltage noise was found to be almost identical to the voltage noise from one of its junctions. The flux focusing effect of the washer geometry was also measured.

    Notes: We have fabricated superconducting quantum interference devices (dc SQUID's) from thin films of the superconducting oxide YBa2Cu3Oy. The devices were made by first lithographically patterning an ion implant mask containing a 40 by 40 μm loop and two 17-μm-wide weak links over a ∼1-μm-thick oxide film. Ion implantation was then used to destroy the superconductivity in the film surrounding the device without actually removing material, resulting in a completely planar structure for the SQUID's. The SQUID's were operated in the temperature range from 4.2 to 68 K. The superconducting flux quantum was measured to be h/2e in these materials.

    Notes: The ac Josephson effect was studied in YBa2Cu3O7−x grain-boundary junctions (GBJ) in the temperature range from 4 to 90 K. The temperature dependence of the linewidth of millimeter-wave Josephson oscillations was measured and it is shown that the derived effective noise temperatures may be as low as the physical temperature in the temperature range investigated. In the millimeter-wave range, linewidths as low as 380 MHz were found at liquid-nitrogen temperatures.

    Notes: We have studied single-grain-boundary junctions in the neodymium-, bismuth-, and thallium-based cuprate superconductors and find that they behave as weak links, qualitatively similar to the YBa2Cu3O7−δ superconductor. In general, the grain boundary critical current is determined by flux flow for small misorientation angles and by Josephson junctionlike coupling for large angles. The latter is verified by the observation of voltage oscillations with an external magnetic field in superconducting quantum interference devices built using single-grain-boundary junctions of these materials. The commonality of behavior of grain boundaries in all of the high temperature cuprate superconductors suggests that the weak link is most likely associated with the structure of the grain boundary and the evidence points increasingly to dislocations, which describe the topology of the boundary.

    Notes: A bicrystal junction high-Tc direct current-SQUID has been operated successfully at 77 K in a portable battery operated microcooler. The microcooler products magnetic signals which are harmonics of 43 Hz and a band of frequencies from 400 Hz to 4 kHz. It is possible to operate the SQUID in a flux-locked-loop mode using a 10 kHz modulation signal. The performance of the SQUID in the microcooler, in the frequency range 1–10 Hz, is almost identical to that in a Dewar. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have recently reported on the persistence of a significant zero voltage current across bicrystal grain boundary junctions of YBa2Cu3O7−δ in an external magnetic field of several Tesla. In this note we present data on the dependence of this residual current on temperature and orientation of the grain boundary. A description of the grain boundary as being comprised of superconducting microbridges separated by normal regions is consistent with the experimental data.

    Notes: We have investigated the electrical properties of Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O high-Tc superconductor bicrystal grain boundary junctions. The behavior of the transport parameters is very similar to those obtained in YBaCuO7−δ junctions. In particular, the temperature dependence of the critical current and the scaling behavior of the critical current density as a function of the misorientation angle were analyzed. Relatively good control of the transport parameters as a function of the misorientation angle has been achieved. The current-voltage characteristics showed a resistively shunted junction model-like behavior at large angles (θ≥20°); at lower angles, the characteristics were more flux-flow like. Preliminary results on noise characteristics are also presented.
