B. Nebendahl et al., COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION OF INTRINSIC JOSEPHSON CONTACTS IN HTC SUPERCONDUCTORS BY MODULATED MICROWAVE-ABSORPTION MEASUREMENTS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 209(4), 1993, pp. 362-368
A quantitative analysis of the temperature dependence of modulated mic
rowave absorption measurements in a sputtered film, a single crystal a
nd a ceramic sample reveals two different types of intrinsic Josephson
contacts. By modelling the complete temperature dependence of the mic
rowave absorption signal, we were able to distinguish SNS- and SIS-typ
e junctions. As a result we found SIS-type junctions for the granular
(sputtered) layer, whereas the single crystal reveals SNS-typejunction
