Nonequilibrium Microwave Emission from DC-Biased High Tc YBa2Cu3O7-y Junctions

Kiejin Lee, Ienari Iguchi, Hiroyuki Arie +1 more

We report the observation of microwave emission from dc-biased high T c Au/insulator/YBa2Cu3O7-y junctions, which provides a novel method of generating broad-band microwaves. The microwave intensity is typically of the order of subpicowatts, and increases almost linearly with the increase of junction current and vanishes as the bath temperature approaches T c. The observed effect is not similar to the Josephson effect and may be interpreted in terms of the nonequilibrium dynamics involving Cooper pairs and quasiparticles.

Processing of DC SQUIDs for radiofrequency amplification

R. Chicault, M. C. Cyrille, Y. Berthier +4 more

The goal of this studies is to use dc Squids as low noise radiofrequency amplifier (Tn ≈1K) in the frequency range 1-150 Mhz and to integrate them in NMR probe. DC Squids have been built using planar technology and with two types of superconducting materials : low Tc(Nb) and High Tc(YBa2Cu3O7). Contrary to the traditional set up used in magnetometry (flux locked loop) the dc Squid is here fluxed biased near Φz=(2n+1)Φo/4 and no flux locked loop is connected. Small variations of flux (Φs<<Φo) introduced from signal source via the input coil are amplified following the transfer characteristic VΦ=dV/dΦ. The low Tc devices are set up to now the best, concerning the reproducibility and the qualities of the Josephson Junctions obtained with a three layer process Nb/Al-Al2O3/Nb. Such junctions have been realized following the so called SNOP process, without anodization. The main characteristic obtained at 4.2K are RJ/RN=10, 2Δ≈2.8 meV and a Josephson current density J≈103 A/cm2. The high Tc devices have been built with bi-epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7 junctions and with a 30x30µm2 area loop. I(V) and V(Φ) characteristics curves obtained are promizing for applications as RF detection in the temperature range : 4-77K. Modelization studies are currently in progress for the optimization of those devices (low Tc and high Tc) as RF amplifiers (minimization of parasitic capacitance between the input coil and the Squid loop) in order to increase their upper frequency limit.\n* This work is partially supported by Ultimatech (CNRS), by the "région Rhône-Alpes" and E.E.C. "HTSC-GBJ" programs n°7100.
