In the presentation, we will report on the realization of all high-Tc<br />
π/2-SQUIDs. The characteristics of the π/2-SQUIDs, which were fabricated<br />
using YBa2Cu3O7−δ thin films grown on tetracrystalline substrates<br />
will be presented and compared with the properties of standard high-Tc<br />
SQUIDs.<br />

We used low temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM) to<br />
image the supercurrent distribution in zigzag YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO)–Nb<br />
ramp edge Josephson junctions. These junctions consist of several artificial<br />
facets of length a ≤ λJ and alternating orientation along the in-plane<br />
crystallographic axes of the YBCO film. At zero applied magnetic field<br />
we clearly observed the reversal of the direction of the Josephson current<br />
flowing through neighboring facets. This is a direct visualization of<br />
the opposite sign of the critical current in neighboring facets, i.e. they<br />
can be considered as 0 and π junctions. This constitutes direct imaging<br />
of the sign change in the phase of the d x 2 −y 2 order parameter symmetry<br />
in YBCO. We performed numerical simulations of the sine–Gordon<br />
model which showed that for our particular geometry the phase profile<br />
along the zigzag junctions corresponds to a compressed chain of antiferromagnetically<br />
ordered semifluxons. At the matching field, for which<br />
the critical current is maximum, the simulations predict a supercurrent<br />
distribution which has the same sign and an arc–like profile in all facets.<br />
This prediction is directly confirmed by LTSEM.<br />

Doping dependence of pseudogap and superconductivity in<br />
electron doped high-temperature-superconductors: results from<br />

Studying the influence of doping on the characteristics of oxide superconductors<br />
is essential to both the understanding of the underlying<br />
physics and the development of new applications. Here, we report<br />
on tunneling spectroscopy measurements on grain boundary junctions<br />
of electron doped high-temperature superconductors La2−xCexCuO4,<br />
Pr2−xCexCuO4 and Nd2−xCexCuO4 with different Ce concentrations<br />
around optimal doping. We focus on the pronounced depletion in the<br />
density of states near EF observed in the normal state above Bc2 and its<br />
evolution with temperature, magnetic field and doping [1]. Considerations<br />
concerning the conservation of states rule even indicate a coexistence of<br />
this pseudogap regime and the superconducting state.[2]<br />

STM structure analysis of bismuth high-TC crystals depending<br />

A detailed structural analysis of single and double layered bismuth<br />
single crystals (BSCCO) has been performed by Scanning Tunneling<br />
Microscopy (STM). Because of the special layered configuration of these<br />
superconductors, containing semiconducting, insulating and the superconducting<br />
metallic layers, we obtain different atomic images depending<br />
on the applied tunneling voltage. In particular, semiconducting layers<br />
will be invisible for bias voltages below its gap energy /1/. So it has<br />
become possible to observe not only the surface layer but also deeper<br />
CuO2-layers which cause high-TC superconductivity. The results can be<br />
understood from the particular crystal structure of BSCCO.<br />

Cavity resonances in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 intrinsic Josephson<br />
junction stacks under low frequency microwave irradiation —<br />

One important problem towards the realization of THz oscillators from<br />
intrinsic Josephson junction stacks is to make the junctions in the stack<br />
to oscillate in-phase. One possibility to generate such oscillations is to<br />
excite cavity resonances by collective motion of Josephson fluxons in the<br />
stack.<br />
So far, cavity resonances have only been observed for Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8<br />
stacks at high external magnetic fields. We have investigated single crystal<br />
Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 stacks at zero magnetic field under microwave irradiation<br />
with frequencies between 2 and 25 GHz. Measured current voltage<br />
characteristics show structures which can be attributed to cavity resonances.<br />
Using low temperature scanning electron microscopy to image<br />
the current distribution in the stack we find clear cavity resonances with<br />
wavelengths of some µm. We believe that the resonances are excited by<br />
the collective motion of vortex-antivortex pairs generated by the external<br />
microwave field.<br />

We report on electrical transport measurements on single crystals of<br />
RuSr2GdCu2O8(Ru1212). The material shows coexistence of magnetic<br />
ordering (Tm ≈ 130 K) and superconductivity (Tc ≈ 55 K) at low temperatures.<br />
The crystal structure consists of alternating RuO2 layers (with<br />
a weak ferromagnetic (F) component in-plane) and superconducting (S)<br />
CuO2 layers, separated by insulating (I) layers of SrO. Ru1212 thus forms<br />
an intrinsic SIFIS multilayer structure. For transport perpendicular to<br />
the planes an intrinsic Josephson effect as, e.g., in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ<br />
(Bi2212) has been predicted. In addition, the magnetic component inside<br />
the barrier might provoke interesting phenomena like π-phases in<br />
the superconducting order parameter.<br />
We measured the interlayer current transport in micron-sized Ru1212<br />
single crystals in magnetic fields up to 7T and temperatures between<br />
4.2K and 300K. The system shows a clear intrinsic Josephson effect, e.g.<br />
the typical multi-branched current-voltage characteristics known from<br />
high-Tc cuprates. Our magnetic field measurements reveal that fluxon<br />
motion takes place in a very similar fashion as in Bi2212. So far, however,<br />
we did not observe any unconventional behavior due to the magnetism<br />
of the RuO2 layers.<br />

Charge-imbalance relaxation rate in layered d-wave superconductors<br />
— •Joachim Keller and Dmitri Ryndyk — Institut für<br />
Theoretische Physik, Universität Regensburg, 93040 Regensburg<br />
Intrinsic (inter-layer) Josephson effect in layered d-wave superconductors<br />
is accompanied by static and oscillating charge fluctuations on the<br />
layers. In a system of weakly coupled very thin atomic layers, such charge<br />
fluctuations may lead to non-equilibrium effects described by a shift of<br />
the chemical potential of the condensate and a charge imbalance between<br />
electron- and hole-like quasiparticles. We have developed the microscopic<br />
theory based on the nonequilibrium Green function method and calculated<br />
static and high-frequency charge imbalance relaxation rates in dwave<br />
superconductors (which are determined at low temperatures by<br />
elastic scattering).<br />
