摘要:
A Josephson junction is disclosed which includes a substrate of a single crystal having a substantially flat surface, a wiring pattern of an oxide superconductor formed on the flat surface of the substrate, and an altered region formed having a width of 300 nm or less and formed in the wiring pattern to intersect the wiring pattern, the crystal orientations of the wiring pattern on both sides of the altered region being equal to each other. The Josephson junction may be prepared by a process including the steps of: (a) coating a surface of a substrate of a single crystal with a normal metal to form a protecting layer over the surface of the substrate; (b) irradiating a predetermined portion of the protecting layer with a focused ion beam so that an irradiated portion is formed in the substrate; (c) removing the protecting layer from the substrate; and (d) forming a wiring pattern of an oxide superconductor on the surface of the substrate from which the protecting layer has been removed such that the wiring pattern crosses the irradiated portion of the substrate, thereby forming an altered portion in the wiring pattern at a position above the irradiated portion.

This describes the following five novel organic substances: Bis (ethylenedithio) tetrathiafulvalene (henceforth to be called BEDT-TTF) compounded with cyanometalate anions in what is called Tetracyano Nickel acid Bis (Ethylenedithio) Tetrathiafulvalene salt.hydrate expressed by (BEDT-TTF).sub.4 [Ni(CN).sub.4 ].H.sub.2 O, Tetracyano Platinum acid Bis (Ethylenedithio) Tetrathiafulvalene salt.hydrate that is expressed by (BEDT-TTF).sub.4 [Pt(CN).sub.4 ].H.sub.2 O, Cyanide Palladium Bis (Ethylenedithio) Tetrathiafulvalene salt that is expressed by (BEDT-TTF)-[Pd(CN).sub.2 ], Tetracyano Palladium acid Bis (Ethylenedithio) Tetrathiafulvalene salt.hydrate that is expressed by (BEDT-TFF).sub.4 [Pd(CN).sub.4 ].H.sub.2 O and Tetracyano Palladium acid Bis (Ethylenedithio) Tetrathiafulvalene salt that is represented by (BEDT-TTF).sub.4 [Pd(CN).sub.4 ]. BEDT-TTF, acting as a common constituent in the crystals of all of the above substances, provides the properties of an insulator, a metal or a superconductor. Anions that construct the framework of BEDT-TTF determine the arrangement of BEDT-TTF and thus the electronic state of the compound. It can be predicted that superconducting phenomena could be discovered in compounds of BEDT-TTF type in which there are compounded cyanometalate anions that have the tendency to form large frameworks so that the effective volume is large as in the case of the novel substances of the present invention.

Disclosed herein are high-temperature oxide superconductors of RBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8 type, with Ba partly replaced by Sr or Ca, or with R and Ba partly replaced by Ca and Sr, respectively, as represented by the chemical composition formula of R(Ba.sub.1-y Sr.sub.y).sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8 or R(Ba.sub.1-z Ca.sub.z).sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8 or (R.sub.1-x Ca.sub.x) (Ba.sub.1-y Sr.sub.y).sub.2 Cu.sub.4 O.sub.8. They exhibit superconductivity at high temperatures. Especially, the last one exhibits superconductivity at a higher temperature than the former two. All of them can be made with a less amount of Ba as a deleterious substance, and the first two have improved sinterability. The best results are obtained when they are produced by the process involving the hot hydrostatic pressure treatment of the mixture of raw materials at 850.degree.-1100.degree. C. in an atmosphere composed of an inert gas and oxygen. The process permits a wider selection of Ba raw materials.

A viscous rubber composition consisting mainly of a non-polar rubber, polybutene and white carbon has high adhesion and excellent puncture-sealing properties. Pneumatic tires provided with a puncture-sealing layer formed of such a viscous rubber composition have a high resistance against the puncture due to foreign substances penetrated through the tire.
