New Phenomena in Grain Boundary Josephson Junction Networks of BaPb0.7Bi0.3O3 Films

Abstract
The grain boundaries of superconducting BaPb0.7Bi0.3O3 (BPB) sputtered thin films work as Josephson junctions and also form two-dimensional junction arrays. Each film was shaped into a cross-pattern, with a gate and control lines, crossing each other perpendicularly. When the control current exceeds a certain critical value, the IV curve of the gate behaves in two different ways: (1) With W g<W c (gate and control line widths), Josephson current for the gate line shifts by 2n Δ/e (n: integer); (2) With W g>W c, curves in voltage state are elongated through the V-axis into the opposite quadrant.
