The observation of the AC Josephson effect in a YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7//Au/YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ junction

Description

The authors have demonstrated proximity effect coupling between a high transition temperature superconductor and a normal metal. In a device with a 1μ long gap in a YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ film spanned by a Au shunt we have observed a dc supercurrent and the ac Josephson effect under microwave irradiation from 2GHz to 15GHz. Preliminary work has also begun with Ag shunts. These high quality S-N interfaces should be applicable both to probing the superconducting state in oxide superconductors and to building high T/sub c/ electronic devices
