Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Selection of the Best Proper Dc-Squids in a Multi-Squid Configuration(IEEE, 2007) Avcı, İlbeyi; Akram, R.; Bozbey, Ali; Tepe, Mustafa; Abukay, DoğanWe have carried out experimental investigation of multi-DC-SQUID magnetometer configuration fabricated on YBa2Cu30 7-δ thin films onto 24 degree SrTiO3 bicrystal substrates by directly coupling the pick-up loop to DC-SQUIDs. The layout of the magnetometer pick-up loop was chosen as a square washer configuration by maximizing loop effective area and minimizing loop inductance. We have used De-Magnetron Sputtering technique for deposition of the films and chemical etching process for patterning the Josephson junctions having 4 μm widths. The use of multi-SQUID configuration is related to the selection of the best proper junctions for SQUID to improve the chip sensitivity with selectivity option of choosing the squid junctions rather than multichannel operation. Selection of the best junctions compared to each other depending on the junction critical currents and noise levels caused by the fabrication process and placements of the junctions on the grain boundary enable having an increased output signal of the DC-SQUID.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Dependence of Josephson Junction Critical Current on the Deposition Rate of Yba2cu3o7-? Thin Films(American Institute of Physics, 2007) Algül, B. P.; Avcı, İlbeyi; Akram, R.; Bozbey, Ali; Tepe, Mustafa; Abukay, DoğanWe have reported the effect of YBa2Cu3O 7-δ (YBCO) thin film deposition rate on the 24 and 30 degree STO bicrystal Josephson junctions critical currents by fabricating series of junctions with different deposition rates. Dependence of YBCO thin film structures on the deposition rate was investigated. We have observed that the critical currents of junctions are strongly affected by the thin film deposition rate.
