    Spin Polarized Current Injection Through Hgbr2 Intercalated Bi2212 Intrinsic Josephson Junctions
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2007) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Kurter, Cihan; Özdemir, Mustafa; Zasadzinski, John F.; Gray, Kenneth E.; Hinks, David G.
    To investigate the effect of polarized current on tunneling characteristics of intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs), spin-polarized and spin-degenerate current have been injected through the c-axis of HgBr2 intercalated Bi2.1Sr1.5Ca1.4Cu2O 8+δ (Bi2212) single crystals on which 10 × 10 μm 2 mesas have been fabricated. These two spin conditions are achieved by depositing either Au (15 nm)/Co (80 nm)/Au (156 nm) multilayers or single Au film on HgBr2 intercalated Bi2212 with Tc = 74 K followed by photolithography and Ar ion beam etching. The I-V characteristics have been measured with and without a magnetic field parallel to c-axis at 4.2 K. A fine, soft Au wire is used to make a gentle mechanical contact on the top of a particular mesa in the array. Tunneling conductance characteristics were obtained and the magnetic field dependence of sumgap voltage peaks was investigated. These peaks do not change in position with increasing magnetic field for both contact configurations. In addition, the temperature dependence of tunneling characteristics of the IJJs are obtained and existence of pseudogap feature is observed above Tc for HgBr2 intercalated Bi2212.

    Effect of Magnetic Field on Quasiparticle Branches of Intrinsic Josephson Junctions With Ferromagnetic Layer
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Özdemir, Mustafa; Kurter, Cihan; Hinks, David G.; Gray, Kenneth E.
    The interlayer tunneling spectroscopy has been performed on micron-sized mesa arrays of HgBr2 intercalated superconducting Bi2212 single crystals. A ferromagnetic multilayer (Au/Co/Au) is deposited on top of the mesas. The spin-polarized current is driven along the c-axis of the mesas through a ferromagnetic Co layer and the hysteretic quasiparticle branches are observed at 4.2 K. Magnetic field evolution of hysteretic quasiparticle branches is obtained to examine the effect of injected spin-polarized current on intrinsic Josephson junction characteristics. It is observed that there is a gradual distribution in quasiparticle branches with the application of magnetic field and increasing field reduces the switching current progressively.

    Spin Polarized and Degenerate Tunneling Spectra in Intrinsic Josephson Junctions of Bi2212
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2007) Özdemir, Mustafa; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Kurter, Cihan
    Tunneling characteristics of HgBr2 intercalated superconducting Bi2212 single crystals have been obtained by using 10×10 μm2 intrinsic Josephson junction stacks, so called mesa structures. The spin degenerate current is driven along the c-axis with Au layer using point contact tunneling assembly at 4,2 K. The spin polarized current is also driven along the c-axis of crystals with Au/Co/Au multilayer. In order to understand the role of ferromagnetic layer (Co), quasiparticle branches are examined with and without magnetic field. The magnetic field evolution of switching currents are obtained for gaining further insight about the spin injection through the stack
