Maj. Verhoeven et al., INFLUENCE OF PRBA2CU(3-X)GA(X)O7 BARRIER MATERIAL ON ELECTRICAL BEHAVIOR OF RAMP-TYPE JOSEPHSON-JUNCTIONS, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 194, 1994, pp. 1345-1346
The use of PrBa2Cu3-xGaxO7 barrier material with increased resistivity
by Ga doping (x=0; 0.05 and 0.1) in ramp-type DyBa2Cu3O7/PrBa2Cu3-xGa
xO7/DyBa2Cu3O7 Josephson junctions has been investigated. All junction
s have been fabricated with very smooth sputtered films and show good
RSJ-like I-V characteristics with clear Josephson behaviour. Both crit
ical current I(c) and normal state resistance R(n) are influenced by t
he doping level as well as the barrier thickness. The temperature depe
ndence of the normal state resistance at different Ga doping levels an
d barrier thicknesses will be discussed.
