  2. 1. d-wave Josephson Junctions

    Author : Tobias Lindström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Josephson junctions; high-temperature superconductivity; Andreev states;

    Abstract : The properties of d-wave YBCO Josephson junctions and dc-SQUIDs with high misorientation angles have beenstudied experimentally .The predominant d-wave symmetry of the pairing wavefunction in high-Tc superconductors has, to a large extent, beena hinderance in applications, but it also makes it possible to fabricate devices with novel properties that may be suitablefor applications in the quantum regime; one particulary interesting property is a strong second harmonic component in the current-phase relation ofjunctions with the electrodes oriented in a node-lobe arrangement; so-called 0-45 junctions.

  5. 3. Bi2212 intrinsic Josephson junctions, fabrication and high frequency properties

    Author : Mattias Torstensson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intrinsic Joule heating; Shapiro steps; in plane critical current; Bi2212; high temperature superconductors; intrinsic Josephson junctions;

    Abstract : The objective for this work was to investigate the high-frequency properties of Bi2212 intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJ’s). Particularly, the possibility to reach the THz range with a SIS mixer is theoretically promising due to the high energy gap of Bi2212. READ MORE

  6. 4. High-frequency phenomena in small Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x intrinsic Josephson junctions

    Author : Holger Motzkau; Vladimir M. Krasnov; Reinhold Kleiner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; high-temperature superconductivity; Bi-2212; cuprates; intrinsic Josephson junctions; intrinsic tunneling; fluxons; flux-flow oscillator; THz-emission; cavity resonances; polaritons; electrical doping; micro nano-fabrication; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the tunneling between individual atomic layers in structures of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x based high-temperature superconductors are experimentally studied employing the intrinsic Josephson effect. A special attention is paid to the fabrication of small mesa structures using micro and nanofabrication techniques. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hybrid Superconductor/Ferromagnet junctions with a strongly ferromagnetic barrier

    Author : Olena Kapran; Vladimir Krasnov; Thilo Bauch; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Superconductivity; Josephson junctions; planar Josephson junctions; micro nanoscale fabrication; micromagnetic state; in-situ characterization technique; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The spin-triplet superconducting state, predicted in superconductor /ferromagnet heterostructures remains one of the most exotic states of nature. It is expected that the triplet state can be switched on/off by changing the relative orientation of magnetization in multilayer Josephson spin-valve structures. READ MORE
