Abstract

In our experiments, fully oxygenated YBa2Cu3O7−δ single crystals were annealed in flowing oxygen at various temperatures and quenched in liquid nitrogen to become oxygen deficient. These single crystals, with transition temperatures ranging from 35 K to 82 K, were then fabricated into mesalike devices along c axis with a−b plane dimensions down to 2 μm. We measured dc current-voltage (I−V) curves, and observed typical intrinsic Josephson effects such as hysteresis, voltage jumps, etc., in all oxygen deficient samples. However, the oxygen contents and a−b plane sizes of the samples greatly affected the appearances of the I−V characteristics, supplying important information on the intrinsic Josephson effects. Microwave responses were also explored for possible high-frequency applications.
