Article Citation - WoS: 1Effect 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.Article Investigation of the Tunneling Spectra in Hgbr2-Intercalated Bi-2212 Single Crystals Below and Above Tc(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Kurter, Cihan; Mazur, Daniel; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Hinks, David G.; Gray, Kenneth E.Interlayer tunneling spectroscopy measurements were performed on mesa arrays of Bi-2212 single crystals, intercalated with HgBr2. Tunneling conductances were obtained over a wide temperature range to examine the spectral features, especially the behavior of the quasiparticle peaks corresponding to superconducting energy gaps (SGs). Experimental spectra showed that gap-like features are still present even for the temperatures far above the transition temperature, Tc. This evidence is consistent with the idea that the SG evolves into a pseudogap above Tc for HgBr2-intercalated Bi-2212 single crystals.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Aspects of the Tunneling Dip Feature in Bi2sr2cacu2o8+? and Its Relation To the Resonance Spin Excitation(Elsevier Ltd., 2002) Zasadzinski, John F.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Gray, Kenneth E.; Hinks, David G.; Kendziora, Christopher A.Break-junction tunneling data are reported in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ over a wide range of hole concentration from underdoped to overdoped. The strong conductance peaks in the superconducting state reveal a single gap consistent with d-wave symmetry. In addition, sharp dips are observed at a voltage, Ω/□, measured with respect to the gap edge. These features are shown to be reproduced in other junction types from the literature including atomically resolved STM and □-axis mesas, establishing their intrinsic character. Trends are observed with doping and temperature which link the dip to the resonance spin excitation and indicate that the quasiparticles are strongly coupled to this mode.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 14High Energy Secondary Peak Structure in Tunneling Spectra (hump) as Possible Magnetic Pseudogap(Elsevier Ltd., 2000) Zasadzinski, John F.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Hinks, David G.; Gray, Kenneth E.It is demonstrated that tunneling spectra in various high Tc cuprates display generic features. The principal conductance peaks in superconductor-insulator-normal metal (SIN) junctions indicate the superconducting gap in the density of states (DOS), Higher energy features include a dip and hump structure with a strength that is asymmetric in bias voltage. The dip and hump features follow the doping trends of the superconducting gap, Δ, with a rough scaling as ∼2Δ and ∼3Δ respectively. Tunneling spectra in underdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ display a more pronounced hump feature suggestive of a second gap in the DOS. It is observed that the hump feature in the tunneling density of states is consistent with other experimental observations of the so-called high energy pseudogap which may have magnetic originsArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Tunneling Spectroscopy of Heavily Underdoped Crystals of Bi2sr2cacu2o8-?(Elsevier Ltd., 2000) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Zasadzinski, John F.; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Kendziora, Christopher A.; Sha, J.; Hinks, David G.; Gray, Kenneth E.Crystals of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ with optimal Tc=95 K have been underdoped using two different methods and the superconducting gaps have been obtained by tunneling. In some cases, three different tunneling geometries have been utilized: point contact, STM and break junctions. The first doping method involves control of the oxygen content by annealing in various partial pressures of oxygen. These crystals exhibit a narrow spread of gap values over a wide doping range from overdoped (Tc=56 K) to underdoped with Tc=70 K. However, for underdoped crystals with Tc midpoints in the range 25 K - 63 K, there is a dramatic increase in the spread of gap values which may signal the development of static phase separation of either chemical or electronic origin. To avoid possible chemical phase separation, we have explored another doping procedure which incorporates Dy substitution on the Ca site. These crystals exhibit a relatively narrow superconducting transition width and some preliminary tunneling spectra will be presented.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 17Tunneling Spectroscopy of Tl2ba2cuo6(Elsevier Ltd., 1999) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Yusof, Zikri; Zasadzinski, John F.; Li, Ting-Wei; Hinks, David G.; Gray, Kenneth E.New results from tunneling spectroscopies on near optimally doped single crystals of Tl2Ba2CuO6 (Tl-2201) junctions are presented. The superconductor-insulator-normal metal (SIN) tunnel junctions are obtained using the point-contact technique with a Au tip. The tunneling conductances reproducibly show a sharp cusp-like subgap, prominent quasiparticle peaks with a consistent asymmetry, and weakly decreasing backgrounds. A rigorous analysis of the SIN tunneling data is performed using two different models for the dx(2)-y(2) (d-wave) density of states (DOS). Based on these and earlier results, the tunneling DOS of Tl-2201 has exhibited the most reproducible data that are consistent with a d-wave gap symmetry. We show that the dip feature at 2 Δ that is, clearly seen in SIN tunneling data of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ is also present in Tl-2201, but at a weaker level. The gap values for crystals with a bulk Tc = 86 K are in the range of 19-25 meV.
