Abstract

Current-voltage characteristics in the c-axis direction were studied experimentally for small-area Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x mesas containing only a few intrinsic stacked Josephson junctions. Fiske steps in such junctions were observed. This is direct evidence for the existence of the ac Josephson effect in intrinsic high-Tc Josephson junctions. From observation of a periodic modulation of Fiske step amplitude as a function of magnetic field we obtain that the spacing between intrinsic Josephson junctions, 15.5 Å, is equal to that given by the crystalline structure of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x.
