Abstract
We report on results of experimental study of mesa heterostructures Nb/Au/Sr2IrO4/YBa2Cu3Ox with the barrier layer of Sr2IrO4, a material known as Mott antiferromagnetic insulator with high spin-orbit interaction energy, ESO ~ 0.4 eV. Under the influence of magnetic field H<15 Oe the resonant steps were registered at voltages Vn 1/L, inversely proportional to the width of the structures L. In contrast to the equidistant Fiske steps, changing the polarity of biasing current I, an asymmetry in Vn has been observed with a difference of voltage spacing between the steps. A change of applied magnetic field H has no effect of the voltages positions Vn , but the amplitudes of steps oscillate. Under microwave irradiation the Shapiro steps were observed demonstrating an oscillating behavior with power of applied microwaves.
