Abstract
In order to study fundamental properties of pnictide superconductors such as the pairing symmetry, we have fabricated corner-like Josephson devices. Their configuration contains two SNS* (superconductor/barrier/superconductor*) thin-film junctions in different crystal directions. We have used multi-band Co-doped Ba-122 single crystals as the base electrode (S), evaporated lead films as a counter electrode (S*) made of a conventional s-wave superconductor and normal-metal (N) layers as the barrier. The junctions exhibit symmetric I-V characteristics with IcRN values about 0.975 μV. Ic is the critical current, and RN is the normal-state resistance. The observed Fraunhofer pattern-like dependence of Ic on the magnetic field indicates homogeneity of the junctions studied.
