Influence of mechanical deformations on the performance of a coaxial shield for a cryogenic current comparator

This paper studies the impact of mechanical deformations on the performance of a coaxial-type cryogenic current comparator (CCC). Such deformations may become a concern as the size of the CCC increases (e.g. when used as a diagnostic device in a particle accelerator facility involving beamlines with a large diameter). In addition to static deformations, this paper also discusses the effect of mechanical vibrations on the CCC performance.

Bicrystalline Grain Boundary and Hybrid SNS Junctions Based on Ba-122 Thin Films

To investigate the properties of iron-based superconductors, we examined different kinds of Josephson junctions using Co-doped Ba-122 thin films. Based on bicrystalline SrTiO3 substrates we prepared grain boundary (GB) junctions, which showed clear Josephson effects. We present electrical measurements at varying temperatures and magnetic fields. Furthermore, we prepared hybrid junctions using thin film technique. Confined by a Ba-122 base electrode (S) and a PbIn counter electrode (S') two different geometries of hybrid junctions are formed: a planar SNS' junction with a gold barrier (N) in between and an edge-type junction with an interface-engineered barrier. All three kinds of junctions showed asymmetric resistively shunted junction-like (RSJ) behavior with ICRN products of 20.2 /mu V (GB junctions), 18.4 /mu V (planar SNS' junctions) and 12.3 /mu V (edge-type junctions), respectively. An excess current could be observed at all junctions.
