T. Yasuda et al., INFLUENCE OF SELF-HEATING ON THE I-V CHARACTERISTICS IN BI-2212 INTRINSIC JUNCTIONS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 289(1-2), 1997, pp. 109-113
We investigate the heating effects on the current-voltage (I-V) charac
teristics of the Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox intrinsic Josephson junctions. Reducing
the Joule heat by the pulse technique, voltages are found significant
ly larger than in the conventional DC technique. The result suggests t
hat anomalies in DC measurements, such as very small characteristic vo
ltage and back-bending I-V curves, are closely related to heating. (C)
