Conference Object Probing the Density of States of High Temperature Superconductors With Point Contact Tunneling Spectroscopy(Springer Verlag, 2005) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Zasadzinski, John F.; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Gray, Kenneth E.Tunneling spectroscopy measurements are performed on single crystals of single CuO2 layer Tl2Ba2CuO6+delta, double CuO2 layer Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (Bi2212) and polycrystal quadruple CuO2 layer CuBa2Ca3Cu4O12+delta using the point contact tunneling technique. I-V and dI/dV-V characteristics are obtained at 4.2 K. In spite of different number of layers and T-c values, all three high-T-c superconductors exhibit similar spectral features including dip and hump features reminiscent of strong-coupling effects in conventional superconductors. The doping dependence of Bi2212 is studied and several effects of the hole concentration on spectral features are found. A novel effect is that the energy gap increases in the underdoped region even as T-c decreases. Combining the doping dependence of the energy gap and the dip energy provides additional information in order to understand the mechanism of high-T-c superconductivity. Point contact tunneling studies of the doping dependence of the energy gap in Bi2212 also helped to understand local variations of the gap magnitude observed by scanning tunneling microscopy, indicating that this type of spectroscopy is an integral part of the tunneling technique.Article Citation - WoS: 150Citation - Scopus: 7Correlation of Tunneling Spectra in Bi2sr2cacu2o8+? With the Resonance Spin Excitation(American Physical Society, 2001) Zasadzinski, John F.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Gray, Kenneth E.; Hinks, David G.; Kendziora, Christopher A.New break-junction tunneling data are reported in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ over a wide range of hole concentration from underdoped (Tc=74k) to optimal doped (Tc=95k) to overdoped (Tc=48k). The conductances exhibit sharp dips at a voltage, Ω/e, measured with respect to the superconducting gap. Clear trends are found such that the dip strength is maximum at optimal doping and that Ω scales as 4.9kTc over the entire doping range. These features link the dip to the resonance spin excitation and suggest quasiparticle interactions with this mode are important for superconductivity.Article Fabrication of Bi2212 Single Crystal Bolometer for Detection of Terahertz Waves(Springer Verlag, 2017) Semerci, Tuğçe; Demirhan, Yasemin; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Wang, Huabing; Özyüzer, LütfiTerahertz (THz) radiation is in powerful region of electromagnetic spectrum because of prosperous application areas yet deficiency still exists about sources and detectors in despite of improvements of the research field in this range. This gap can be filled by focusing on development of THz detectors. Therefore, bolometers were preferred through many detectors due to detection sensitivity above 1 THz. In this study, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212) single crystals were used to fabricate THz bolometric detector. Bi2212 single crystals were transferred on sapphire substrate by cleavage process and e-beam lithography and ion beam etching were used to fabricate the microchip clean room facilities. Customdesigned cryogenic cryostat was used for a-b axis electrical and THz response measurements with liquid nitrogen cooled system. After electrical measurements, Bi2212 microchips detected the signals using Stefan-Boltzmann Lamp and response time were calculated. This study have shown with our experimental results that Bi2212 single crystals are potential candidates for THz bolometric detectors.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 18Tunneling Studies of Multilayered Superconducting Cuprate (cu,c)ba2ca3cu4o12+?(World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 2003) Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Tokiwa, K.; Mikusu, S.; Zasadzinski, John F.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; İshihara, T.; Kaneko, Tsutomu; Watanabe, T.; Gray, Kenneth E.Point contact tunneling data are reported in a multilayered high-T c cuprate (Cu,C)Ba2Ca3Cu4O 12+δ with Tc = 117 K. The tunneling spectra in the superconducting state (T ≪ Tc) display spectral features such as well-defined superconducting gap peak at ±Δ as well as dip-hump structures beyond the peaks. In some cases, the spectra with two-gaps have been observed, indicating the coexistence of two inequivalent superconducting layers. The statistical distribution of superconducting gap magnitude suggests two distinct kinds of superconducting gaps that may originate from two inequivalent CuO2 planes, a characteristics of multilayered cuprates with n ≥ 3.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Thin Film Like Terahertz Bolometric Detector on Bi2212 Single Crystal(Springer Verlag, 2016) Semerci, Tuğçe; Demirhan, Yasemin; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Wang, Huabing; Özyüzer, LütfiIn this study, we developed a microbolometer chip fabricated from high temperature superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212) single crystals for the terahertz (THz) detection. For the manufacturing of the microbolometer chips, Bi2212 single crystals were transferred on substrate in the thin film like form and electron beam lithography, ion beam etching techniques were used. Resistance versus temperature behavior of the bolometer chips were performed by four probe technique in liquid nitrogen cryostat. Bi2212 microchips were integrated and characterized using in our custom-designed cryogenic bolometer system instead of expensive and massive cooling systems. The fabricated microchips significantly detected signals from the Stefan-Boltzmann lamp which includes a portion of THz radiation. The detected power and response time were studied for Bi2212 thin film like microbolometer chips. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of improved Bi2212 microchips could be used for bolometric detection for THz applications.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 20Area Dependence and Influence of Crystal Inhomogeneity on Superconducting Properties of Bi2212 Mesa Structures(Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Demirhan, Yasemin; Sağlam, Hilal; Türkoğlu, Fulya; Alaboz, Hakan; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Kadowaki, K.The rapid increase in applications of terahertz waves requires new techniques to obtain continuous wave terahertz sources. Mesa structures fabricated from high-Tc superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212) single crystal have been observed as an intense, coherent, continuous electromagnetic wave source in the terahertz (THz) frequency region. However, in order to produce coherent radiation with high applicable power, we need large mesa structures that enter a collective electromagnetic state in which their oscillations are largely synchronized in phase. On the other hand, large mesa structures cause a heating problem. In this study, we report on the critical current density dependence of mesa area and the crystal inhomogeneity to understand heating problems in large area mesas for terahertz radiation. Since the doping dependence of Bi2212 is an important parameter, the as-grown Bi2212 crystals were heat-treated at various temperatures under vacuum conditions. We have fabricated triple mesa structures from Bi2212 single crystal using e-beam lithography and argon ion beam etching techniques with same area and with different area on the same chip. We investigated and compared characteristics of triple mesas which are on the same chip and next to each other. In this way, we searched the crystal inhomogeneity in triple mesa structures and studied the critical current density dependence of mesa area to obtain high emission power for the THz radiation. Our experimental results clearly show that the Josephson critical current density is decreasing when the area of mesa is increasing. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

This is accomplished by extracting detailed information on the diagonal and anomalous contributions to the quasiparticle self-energy. In particular, a comparison of the imaginary part of the anomalous self-energy ImΦ(ω) and the pairing glue spectral function α2F(ω) used in the model is consistent with Hubbard model simulations in the literature. In addition, the real part of the diagonal self-energy for optimal doped Bi2212 bears a strong resemblance to that obtained from photoemission experiments.Conference Object Fabrication of Double Mesa Structures by E-Beam Lithography From High Temperature Superconducting Bi2sr2cacu2o 8+? (bi2212) for Powerful Terahertz Emission(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2011) Demirhan, Yasemin; Türkoğlu, Fulya; Köseoğlu, Hasan; Minematsu, M.; Araki, H.; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Özyüzer, LütfiWe work on a frequency tunable solid state device to meet the needs of continuous, coherent, powerful terahertz emission sources that fill practically important terahertz gap. High temperature superconducting (HTS) coherently oscillating Josephson junctions in Bi2Sr2CaCu 2O8+δ (Bi2212) crystal make this approach very promising. Since doping dependence of Bi2212 is an important parameter, Bi2212 crystals are annealed in vacuum or purified argon gas flow at 425°C. For further processing we pattern both single and double rectangular mesa structures by using electron beam lithography on the cleaved surface of the crystal. Resistance-temperature (R-T), and current-voltage behavior (I-V) measurements achieved. © 2011 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Comparison of Intrinsic Josephson and Sis Tunneling Spectroscopy of Bi 2sr2cacu2o8+?(IEEE, 2005) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Kurter, Cihan; Zasadzinski, John F.; Gray, Kenneth E.; Hinks, David G.; Miyakawa, NobuakiTunneling spectroscopy measurements are reported on optimally-doped and overdoped Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu2O 8+δ single crystals. A novel point contact method is used to obtain superconductor-insulator-normal metal (SIN) and SIS break junctions as well as intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJ) from nanoscale crystals. Three junction types are obtained on the same crystal to compare the quasiparticle peaks and higher bias dip/hump structures which have also been found in other surface probes such as scanning tunneling spectroscopy and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. However, our IJJ quasiparticle spectra consistently reveal very sharp conductance peaks and no higher bias dip structures. The IJJ conductance peak voltage divided by the number of junctions in the stack consistently leads to a significant underestimate of Δ when compared to the single junction values. The comparison of the three methods suggests that the markedly different characteristics of IJJ are a consequence of nonequilibrium effects and are not intrinsic quasiparticle features.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Probing the Phase Diagram of Bi2sr2cacu 2o8+? With Tunneling Spectroscopy(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2003) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Zasadzinski, John F.; Gray, Kenneth E.; Hinks, David G.; Miyakawa, NobuakiTunneling measurements are performed on Ca-rich single crystals of Bi 2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (Bi2212), with various oxygen doping levels, using a novel point contact method. At 4.2 K, SIN and SIS tunnel junctions are obtained with well-defined quasiparticle peaks, robust dip and hump features and in some cases Josephson currents. The doping dependence of tunneling conductances of Ca-rich Bi2212 are analyzed and compared to stoichiometric Bi2212. A similar profile of energy gap vs. doping concentration is found although the Ca-rich samples have a slighly smaller optimum Tc and therefore smaller gap values for any doping level. The evolution of tunneling conductance peak height to background ratios with hole concentration are compared. For a given doping level, the Ca-rich spectra showed more broadened features compared to the stoichiometric counterparts, most likely due to increased disorder from the excess Ca. Comparison of the dip and hump features has provided some potential insights into their origins.
