Properties of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 thin film intrinsic Josephson junctions in an in-plane magnetic field

Conference item

We have performed transport measurements on intrinsic Josephson junctions in misaligned thin films of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8. This has been done in both zero field and in-plane aligned magnetic fields of up to 5 T. We have compared wet-etched and ion-milled devices and find that the more precise structure produced by ion-milling gives superior results. In the case of ion-milled devices we are able to individually switch on up to 50 junctions. For an n-plane field of 3 T there is complete suppression o...
