Fabrication and Analysis of Josephson and Weak-Link Junctions and Arrays

摘要

The work took two main avenues in order to prepare the ground for the main goalof the program: planar junctions made with the use of scanning tunneling microscope and atomic force microscopes in conjunction with some novel ideas of etching and metal deposition. The first avenue was the fabrication of ultra small bridges on which junctions will be written. The second avenue was a theoretical analysis of a single junction as well as arrays of many sections of that type.
