A single intrinsic Josephson junction with double-sided fabrication technique
arXiv:cond-mat/0605475 · doi:10.1063/1.2207827
Abstract
We make stacks of intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) imbedded in the bulk of very thin (~nm) single crystals. By precisely controlling the etching depth during the double-sided fabrication process, the stacks can be reproducibly tailor-made to be of any microscopic height (), i.e. enclosing a specified number of IJJ (0-6), including the important case of a single junction. We discuss reproducible gap-like features in the current-voltage characteristics of the samples at high bias.
