In this study, we compared the surface configurations of PrGaO3(PGO) and mu
ltilayers of PGO and CeO2 deposited on YBa2Cu3O7-y (YBCO) thin films. It is
found that the multilayers have flatter surfaces than single layers of the
same thickness. Furthermore, the voltage-current characteristics of sandwi
ch type SIS junctions with a range of single barrier and double barrier thi
ckness using YBCO electrodes were investigated. Double layer barriers are e
ffective in suppressing electrical short circuits caused by pinholes, The j
unction with a double barrier of 5nm PGO and 2.5 nm CeO2 shows a Josephson
current.
