ABSTRACTWe report on the successful preparation of intrinsic Josephson junctions on high-quality BSCCO-2212/2223 superlattice thin films grown by MOCVD. The surface of as-grown films was very smooth with the roughness of the order of a half unit cell. Mesas were effectively structured on the film by the liquid-nitrogen-cooled dry etching method. A typical I-V characteristic in the c-axis direction of a BSCCO film shows the hysteresis and multiple resistive branches. The number of branches is consistent with that of junctions calculated from the height of a mesa structure. This indicates that BSCCO-2212/2223 superlattice films consist of a series array of S(CuO2 bilayer) / I(SrO, BiO layers) / S(CuO2 trilayer) junction. The formation of stacked Josephson junctions was also confirmed by the temperature dependence and the magnetic field dependence of Ic.

AbstractElectronic properties (conductivity and density of states) of quasicrystals present strong similarities with disordered semiconductor based systems on both sides of the Mott-Anderson metal-insulator (MI) transition. We revisit the conductivity of the i-AlCuFe and i-AlPdMn phases, which has temperature and magnetic field dependence characteristic of the metallic side of the transition. The i-AlPdRe ribbon samples can be on either side of the transition depending on their conductivity value. In all these i-phases, the density of states at the Fermi level EF is low. Its energy dependence close to EF is similar to disordered systems close to the MI transition where it is ascribed to effects of interactions between electrons and disorder.
