Abstract
We have prepared thin film mesa structures from highly anisotropic 221 2 superconductors which act as stacks of intrinsic Josephson junctions corresponding to the CuO2 planes coupled by non-superconducting parts of the unit cell. Results are shown on the current-voltage characteri stics and temperature and magnetic field dependence of the critical cu rrent. The response of the junction to external microwave irradiation shows a reduction of critical current and step-like structures which s hould be studied in detail.
