Abstract

Critical current densities, magnetic field response, and microwave response have been measured for laser ablated YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin film lines on MgO and SrTiO3 substrates. Films on SrTiO3 have critical current densities > 1 x 106 A/cm2 at 77K and show uniform transport properties in lines of all sizes. Films on MgO have critical current densities which range between 102 and 106 A/cm2 at 77K and show considerable variation from device to device on the same chip. Narrow lines on MgO with low critical current densities show Josephson weak link structure which includes RSJ-like IV curves, microwave induced constant voltage steps, and a high sensitivity to magnetic field. The presence of the Josephson weak links is correlated with small amounts of misaligned grains in films on MgO.
