NanoSQUIDs from YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$/SrTiO$_3$ superlattices with bicrystal grain boundary Josephson junctions

J. Lin, J. Linek, R. Kleiner, D. Koelle

英文摘要:

We report on the fabrication and characterization of nanopatterned dc SQUIDs with grain boundary Josephson junctions based on heteroepitaxially grown YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$ (YBCO)/ SiTrO$_3$ (STO) superlattices on STO bicrystal substrates. Nanopatterning is performed by Ga focused-ion-beam milling. The electric transport properties and thermal white flux noise of superlattice nanoSQUIDs are comparable to single layer YBCO devices on STO bicrystals. However, we find that the superlattice nanoSQUIDs have more than an order of magnitude smaller low-frequency excess flux noise, with root-mean-square spectral density $S_Φ^{1/2}\sim 5-6\,μΦ_0/\sqrt{\rm Hz}$ at 1 Hz ($Φ_0$ is the magnetic flux quantum). We attribute this improvement to an improved microstructure at the grain boundaries forming the Josephson junctions in our YBCO nanoSQUDs.
