The improvement of the characteristics of ramp-edge junctions with interface modified barriers

Abstract: We have studied the effect of process parameters on uniformity and reproducibility in the engineered barrier ramp-edge Josephson junctions with YBa2Cu3Ox electrodes. The engineered barrier is formed during an etching and annealing process. We investigate excess currents in the junctions by analysing the magnetic field modulations of critical current. The observed excess currents in this study decrease exponentially with increasing annealing temperature. We thus speculate that these excess currents flow via sup… Show more

“…As for the PGO deposition process [8], we found a reduction in excess current of the junctions, and a reduction in I c to 1/10 per 0.5 PGO unit cell. For ramp junctions, little effect of the PGO deposition was found [11]. We now focus on the dependence of the properties on J c , which corresponds to the thickness of the barrier layer.…”
