Abstract
The high degree of crystal stress and strain present at, and in the vicinity of, high angle grain boundary (GBJ), ramp edge Co doped SNS (Co-SNS), or interface engineered junctions (IEJ) can lead to localized and highly non-uniform regions of basal plane oxygen loss in YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta// (YBCO). These oxygen inhomogeneities will, to a greater or lesser degree, affect or cause the superconducting weak link behaviour demonstrated by these types of junctions. In order to examine the impact of the localized oxygen micro/nanostructure on the weak link behaviour of these three junction technologies, we have utilized ozone anneals to provide a partial pressure of atomic oxygen far in excess of that produced by standard O/sub 2/ anneals.
