    摘要: According to various implementations of the invention, a vertical Josephson Junction device may be realized using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of YBCO and PBCO epitaxial layers in an a-axis crystal orientation. Various implementations of the invention provide improved vertical JJ devices using SiC or LSGO substrates; GaN, AlN, or MgO buffer layers; YBCO or LSGO template layers; YBCO conductive layers and various combinations of barrier layers that include PBCO, NBCO, and DBCO. Such JJ devices are simple to fabricate with wet and dry etching, and allow for superior current flow across the barrier layers.

    摘要: An electronic component comprising a Josephson junction and a method for producing the same are proposed. The component comprises a substrate having at least one step edge in the surface thereof and a layer made of a high-temperature superconducting material disposed thereon, wherein this layer, at the step edge, has a grain boundary that forms the one or two weak links of the Josephson junction. On both sides of the step edge, the a and/or b crystal axes in the plane of the high-temperature superconducting layer are oriented perpendicularly to the grain boundary to within a deviation of no more than 10°, as a result of a texturing of the substrate and/or at least one buffer layer disposed between the substrate and the high-temperature superconducting layer. This can be technologically implemented, for example, by growing on the HTS layer by way of graphoepitaxy. By orienting the same crystal axis in each case perpendicularly to the step edge on both sides of the step edge, a maximal supercurrent can flow across the grain boundary induced by the step edge, and consequently across the Josephson junction.

    摘要: This invention provides a method for forming an oxide layer on a metal substrate, which enables manufacture of an oxide layer with improved crystal orientation in comparison with that of the outermost layer of a metal substrate. The method for forming an oxide layer on a metal substrate 20 via RF magnetron sputtering comprises a step of subjecting the crystal-oriented metal substrate 20 exhibiting a c-axis orientation of 99% on its outermost layer to RF magnetron sputtering while adjusting the angle α formed by a perpendicular at a film formation position 20a on the metal substrate 20 and a line from the film formation position 20a to a point 10a at which the perpendicular magnetic flux density is zero on the target 10 located at the position nearest to the film formation position 20a to 15 degrees or less.

    摘要: A superconducting wire is provided which allows an appropriate critical current property to be obtained while maintaining high adhesive strength based on smoothness of a substrate surface that can be achieved without mechanical polishing or the like. A first intermediate layer 21 is formed by coating a material solution on a substrate 10 with a maximum height roughness Rz of 10 nm or more. This improves surface smoothness of the first intermediate layer 21, improves orientation and smoothness of a second intermediate layer 22 formed on the first intermediate layer 21, and increases a critical current in an oxide superconducting layer 30. Furthermore, the first intermediate layer 21 is formed of a plurality of thin coating film layers 21i. The thin coating film layers 21i are deposited such that an uppermost thin coating film layer has a smaller film thickness than a lowermost thin coating film layer and/or a material solution used for the uppermost thin coating film layer has a lower viscosity than a material solution used for the lowermost thin coating film layer. This improves the surface smoothness of the first intermediate layer 21.
