Abstract

Appropriate doping of the electrodes of high-Tc Josephson junctions provides a means to systematically adjust the junctions’ electronic properties. This is demonstrated for the exemplary case of grain boundary junctions in bicrystalline Ca-doped YBa2Cu3O7−δ films. It is found that the critical current density is strongly increased and the normal state resistivity significantly reduced in comparison with the values obtained for equivalent junctions in undoped films.
