We have applied the break junction technique to highly epitaxial c-axis oriented YBaCuO thin films with T c (ρ=0)=91 K deposited on (001) SrTiO 3 or LaAlO 3 substrates by a high oxygen pressure d.c. sputtering technique. The film thickness was about 1500 Å and a photolithographic process was used to reduce to 100 μm the junction width across the fracture. By this procedure, tunable resistance break junctions with tunneling current favored along the ab-planes have been realized. The junctions were formed at low temperatures with freshly fractured surfaces and an inert tunnel barrier was created by helium gas or liquid. A good stability was obtained with the normal-state resistance R N changing about 15% in the temperature range between 4.2 K and 100 K. We have measured the temperature dependence of the conductance maxima that are related to superconducting energy gap at the Fermi level.

AbstractElectrical conduction in magnetic materials depends on their magnetization configuration, resulting in various magnetoresistances (MRs). The microscopic mechanisms of MR have so far been attributed to either an intrinsic or extrinsic origin, yet the contribution and temperature dependence of either origin has remained elusive due to experimental limitations. In this study, we independently probed the intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to the anisotropic MR (AMR) of a permalloy film at varying temperatures using temperature-variable terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The AMR induced by the scattering-independent intrinsic origin was observed to be approximately 1.5% at T = 16 K and is virtually independent of temperature. In contrast, the AMR induced by the scattering-dependent extrinsic contribution was approximately 3% at T = 16 K but decreased to 1.5% at T = 155 K, which is the maximum temperature at which the AMR can be resolved using THz measurements. Our results experimentally quantify the temperature-dependent intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to AMR, which can stimulate further theoretical research to aid the fundamental understanding of AMR.
