Sf. Karmanenko et al., Sources of flicker noise and the technology of superconducting microstripes based on yttrium barium cuprate films, TECH PHYS, 45(4), 2000, pp. 443-452
It has been shown by annealing simulations of YBa2Cu3O7 epitaxial films tha
t the predominant sources of flicker noise in superconducting microstripes
in operating ranges of frequency and temperature are related to oxygen tran
sitions in the vicinity of boundaries of the small-angle blocks. To make su
perconducting microstripes with a dimension of similar to 1 mu m the techni
ques of magnetron sputtering, as well as chemical and ion beam etching, wer
e applied. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
