Abstract
The critical currents in high quality thin films of the high Tc superconductor, YBa2Cu3O7−δ, can be controllably reduced by orders of magnitude using ion irradiation. This reduction in critical current occurs without substantial decrease in Tc or increase in room-temperature resistivity. Using this technique, we have fabricated weak links that exhibit an ac Josephson effect at 77 K.
