Prospects for Thin-Film Electronic Devices of High-Tc Superconductors

摘要

Passive electronic devices show promise for early applications of high-T oxide films at radio and microwave frequencies. Weak link or microbridge SQUID's and radiation detectors show potential, provided that low frequency noise can be reduced. Progress will depend upon control of film surfaces and interfaces, maximization of flux pinning, and elimination of localized electron states from weak links. Reprints.
