The junctions reveal the ac-Josephson effect under microwave evaporation of Al and Nb fills. Sintered Y-Ba-Cu-0 was used as radiation. Moreover, we studied the temperature dependence and the magnetic base elecrode. First, the upper and lower surfaces of the sintered Y-Ba-Cu-0 were polished with A^CN powder and Au thin dependence of the critical current in the junctions. fill was deposited for an ohaic contact on the lover surface• Next, tunnel barriers of junctions were forced using natural A configuration of the junction used in the present experiment is schematically oxidation of Al thin layer deposited on the upper surface. shown in the inset of Fig. 1.

In order to make the superconduct- interlayer or water-cooling of substrate at the junction ing films, post-deposition annealing was carried out in flowing OT at 710 °C for fabrication.

Before evaporating an Au thin film as a normal layer, ihe plasma voltage greater than 0.4. aV were also clearly observed. oxidation was carried out with an O2 pressure of 133 Pa and an rf power of 10 W for 1 h, in order to improve the surface layer of the Y-Ba-Cu-0 films.

Use of the Josephson junctions (inste»d of the traditional

Esaki diodes) in sampling comparators has resulted in a drastic

increase of sensitivity of the samplers together with a

noticeable Improvement of their time resolution [1-3].

Nevertheless, sensitivity of the reported Josephson junction

samplers is apparently far from fundamental limits and is

determined by "technical" fluctuations of the sampling pulse

amplitude and the dc feed currents.

The purpose of the present work was to approach the

fundamental sensitivity limits of the samplers by replacing a

single Josephson junction used in previous versions of the

device by a "Goto pair" [«] of the junctions. These twin

junctions are connected in series for the sampling pulse current

(unit dc feed current) and in parallel for the Kasured waveform

current and the feedback current. As a result, for Identical

junctions the contribution of the sampling pulse amplitude

fluctuations and dc feed current fluctuations to the noise of

the whole device becomes much lower.

In this report we will present a detailed analysis of dyna-

mics and fluctuations in the balanced comparators using: EC-14 EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE RSFQ LOGIC ELEMENTS. V.K.Kap- i) overdumped and ii) underdumped junctions. Although the dyna- lunenko*.

CHARACTERIZATION OF Nb/A10x/Nb JUNCTION STRUCTURE BY AHOOlZATtON SPECTROSCOPY*, T. rmamura and S. Hasuo. Fujitsu Limited - The quality of the Nb/A10x/Nb junction depends on the sharpness of Nb/A10x and Al/Nb interfaces. By measuring dV/dt vs V during the anodi zation of the Al/Nb interface, the interface sharpness can be diagnosed to some degreeJ) Me applied anodization spectroscopy to u-Nb/AlQ^-Al/l-Nb junction structures prepared with different layer sequences and thickesses, and characterized the u-Nb/A10x and Al/l-Nb Figure 4 interfaces so as to consistently produce high-quality junctions. Here, u-Nb and 1-Nb denote the upper and lower Nb, respectively. The u-Nb/A10x-Al/1-Nb deposited on thermally oxidized Si was anodized using an SiOj as a mask. A dV/dt vs V profile was measured under a constant current of 0.4 mA/cm', From the profile, the sharpness of the interfaces could be diagnosed with a resolution of 0.5 nm. The fundamental requirements for the production of high-quality junctions were c larified. Using an Al layer thick enough to cover the Nb surface of the lower Nb. we were able to consistently obtain a Al •-oxide sharp u-Mb/A10j, interface. At the Al/l-Nb interface, the Nb sharpness strongly depends, on the surface morphology and on the surface oxide of the lower Nb. When a thin native oxide, NbOx, is formed on the lower Nb, the deposited Al interacts with Figure 5 NbOx, and a sharp interface cannot be obtained. 1 /v_ 1) H.A.Huggins and H.Gurvitch, J. Appl.

The u-Nb/A10x-Al/l-Nb junction structure was sequentially deposited 1n Ar prftitura: 4.0 Pa a vacuum run. Here, u-Nb and 1-Nb denote the upper and lower Nb. Nb Figure 6 and Al were deposited by dc-magnetron sputtering at an Ar pressure of ^—~/V— 1.3 Pa. The A10x barrier was a native oxide formed on Al in an oxygen-argon atmosphere. The junction structure, particularly the u- Nb/A10x and Al/l-Nb interfaces, was monitored by anodization spectroscopy. Anodization was performed through a window in a thin S1O2 passivation layer in an electrolyte of ethylene glycol and ammonium pentaborate. The sample structure is shown in Figure J. Figure 2 shows a typical dV/dt vs V profile obtained by anodization spectroscopy. The upper Nb is 30 nm thick, and the Al is 7 nm thick. In the figure, sharp u-Nb/A10x and Al/l-Nb Interfaces are observed. At the lower-Nb side of the Al/7-Nb interface, dV/dt is slightly decreased. This suggests Al diffuses into lower Nb to a depth of 5 nm. The sample was patterned by R1E, and its I-V characteristics were EG-5 measured at 4.2 K. The junction quality parameter Vm exceeded 50 mV.

This dull profile suggests that the Al/l-Nb interface is also affected by conditions under which the lower Nb is prepared, and maybe by the surface morphology of the lower Nb.

M.Nakanishi, M.Koyanagi et al; Extend abstract of ISEC '87 in Tokyo A current ampiifier design based on the principle of flunon propagation in a nultijunction exponential SQUID has been investigated. In this design, the critical current of the Junctions is increased exponentially. The SQUID inductance is a JOSEPHSON JUNCTIONS (JJ) equivalent inductance. Current gain can be achieved by generating Tluxons at the low end and dissipating thea at the tiigh end where the load is located. Such an amplifier has the advantage of being compact and insensitive to external fields. The circuit is self-compensating to process variations of the JJ's critical current. Device performance is evaluated by computer simulation. Two parallel exponential SQUIDs with solitons being generated at the low end side by current injection can be used to duplicate flux fro* a high inductance coil to a low inductance oi-tput. Flux wiil be conserved because the phase difference between the solitons generated and propagated fro* the input through the two SQUIDs will match the phase of the external magnetic field at the input inductor.

The system is composed of 3 integrated DC-SQUID magnetometers located perpendicular to each other and each magnetometer detects magnetic 10 50 WO 500 WOO 5000 Hz field normal to its substrate. Configuration of the system is designed lo be suited for investigating effects of mutual interference between magnetometers. It is proved that mutual interference does not damage important performances of ihe system such as a noise property and a transformation factor of magnetic field strength to voltage. White noise level of each magnetometer is about 11 IT'N'HZ Transformation factor \ of each magnetometer is calibrated to be 6 16 X 10'" T/V. The present system has enough performances to be used for studying the biomagnetic field such as magneto-cardiogram and magneto- encephalogram.

Relative balance is better than 1000 ppm limited by the error of measurement. amplitude of the Nlm peak to the P2m peak was larger in the response to 1 kHz than in the response to /ka/. It appeared The field gradient resolution was determined by measuring the noise that attention affected the amplitude of the peaks in different spectrum density and the sensitivity measurement from the known field ways depending on the stimulus attended.

As the cooling field is increased, the onset of flux motion occurs at a lower temperature change and the total amount of flux motion dramatically increases. For thicker films, the onset of flux 2 mm motion occurs at higher temperatures and the amount of flux motion is substantially decreased. All the bulk samples tested showed zero flux motion even at higher cooling fields and larger temperature changes. The model incorporates the following features: magnetic pressure effects due to a magnetic gradient occurring outside the sample, the thermal driving force of a temperature gradient, changes In the penetration depth \ (T) of (A) the fluxoid and general Hcissner instabilities occurring because B is less than HCI.

EH-11 DC SQUID THE FLUX MOTION OF SMALL MAGNETIC FIELDS TRAPPED IN SUPERC0NDUCT0H5, T.R. Clem, Naval Coastal Systems Center - A model Is presented bo investigate the oscillation of surface flux-line elements excited by sub-critical surface supercurrents In bulk superconductors. In this model, viscous and pinning forces countering the Lorentz force of the current are considered following traditional approaches for high current densities. However, the phenomena is explored here in a regime of current densities and field intensities much smaller than critical values and for frequencies lower than the microwave range. Basic assumptions and ranges of validity are discussed. The magnitude of the flux-line displacements as a function of the Lorentz, pinning and viscous forces is estimated. The model is applied to describe flux motion In multiply-connected geometries such as rings, tubes and toroids for the case in which the transport current is driven by magnetic field changes. Unlike the case in (B) which the flux motion is Induced by a constant current source, the current density is now a function of the magnitude of the trapped field. Expressions for the counter EHFs, the modified current densities and the power dissipations are derived and estimates are calculated. The implication of these results to superconducting electronics is discussed.

EN-8 EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS ON THE METASTABLE STATES IN JOSEPHSON JUNCTIONS, R. Crisliano, S. Pagano and P. Silvestrini, Istituto di Cibernclica CNR, Arco Felice. Italy - Josephson Junctions exhibit several meiastable states in the I-V characteristic. The understanding of the decay of such states in the presence of noise has noiiceable interest in view of devices applications. We report experimental results on the metastabiiity of both the V = 0 and the V / 0 states. A comparative analysis of both the decay mechanisms at various values of the Josephson coupling endgy allows to obtain useful informations on the relevant parameters in the lifetime of the V jt o state. In particular we have investigated cases where the lifetime of V = 0 state is comparable with the lifetime of the V ^ 0 state. This situation is experimentally realized by applying an appropriate external magnetic field. The modifications of the I-V characteristics in such a situation are reported. A similar picture is also observed in the switching dynamics of the other current singularities in the 1-V characteristics as Zero Field and Fiske steps. The effect of noise on such structures is discussed in connection with the decay dynamics of the Josephson current. EN-9 A NEW METHOD FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF JOSEPHSOH JUNCTION CIRCUITS, N.F.

The superconducting transition of the films was in- vestigated by measuring their complex ac-response to a small oscillating driving field with B two coil mutual inductance technique. The results are consistent with a description of the ceramics in terms of Josephson coupled superconducting islands distributed on two dimensional lattices. In particular, in samples where the Josephson penetration depth is much larger than the sample thickness, the superfluid component, as mea- sured by the imaginary part of the response, exhibits a sudden drop in the region of the transition, in striking similarity to the behavior observed in artificially prepared two dimensional MV-15 Josephson junction networks.
