Heterodyne mixing with a sandwich-type Josephson junction using a Bi-based high- oxide superconductor

K Mizuno, Hidetaka Higashino, Kentaro Setsune

A sandwich-type high- Josephson junction coupled with a coplanar-type transmission line was fabricated and heterodyne mixing characteristics were investigated. The junction was fabricated from a stacked film structure of (BSCCO/BSNCO/BSCCO) and the transmission line was made of sputter-deposited Pt film. The junction had a rectangular shape of . Current - voltage (I - V) curves of the junction showed weak-link-type characteristics. Two microwave sources of a frequency synthesizer and a sweep oscillator were used as a local oscillator (LO: 20 GHz) and a radio frequency signal source (RF: 19 GHz) for heterodyne mixing experiments. Intermediate signal (IF: 1 GHz) was transmitted through the transmission line and detected by a power meter. The conversion efficiency of -44 dB was estimated for an LO oscillator level of -23 dB m at 5.7 K when the junction was biased at the point below the first Shapiro step.

Enhanced AC Josephson effect for YBa2Cu3O7-δ grain boundary Josephson junctions driven by two rf sources has been demonstrated. Maximum heights of the first Shapiro step have been obtained and are in good agreement with simulations based on the resistively shunted junction (RSJ) model.

Rf-induced steps in intrinsic Josephson junctions in Bi/sub 2/Sr/sub 2/CaCu/sub 2/O/sub y/

Akinobu Irie, Y. Kurosu, Gin-ichiro Oya

We have investigated the RF-induced steps in intrinsic Josephson junctions in mesa-shaped Bi/sub 2/Sr/sub 2/CaCu/sub 2/O/sub y/ single crystals. By applying RF signal in the frequency range 2-20 GHz to the mesa, two types of responses were observed depending on the frequency of the applied microwave. One is the Shapiro step response observed at the frequencies above the Josephson plasma frequency for surface junction. Another is the microwave-induced vortex flow response for surface and inner junctions. We found that the junction size is also the key condition for the observation of Shapiro steps together with the frequency of applied microwave.
