We have observed superconductivity induced by proximity effects for 10
0 nm thick (001) PrBa2Cu3O7-delta films pseudomorphically grown on (00
1) YBa2Cu3O7-delta single crystal substrates by vertical four-probe me
asurements. The induced superconductivity disappeared around 28 K and
was recovered at around 15 K. The 220 nm thick (001) PrBa2Cu3O7-delta/
YBa2Cu3O7-delta bilayers show nonlinear I-V behavior with 0.2 mV built
-in potential at low temperature below 50 K. The local maximum of the
vertical resistance appears around 25 K. (C) 1998 American Institute o
