    Fourcross Shaped Metamaterial Filters Fabricated From High Temperature Superconducting Ybco and Au Thin Films for Terahertz Waves
    (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2017) Demirhan, Yasemin; Alaboz, Hakan; Nebioğlu, Mehmet Ali; Mulla, B.; Akkaya, M.; Altan, Hakan; Sabah, Cumali; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    In this study, we present a new, unique fourcross shaped metamaterial terahertz (THz) filter fabricated from both gold thin films and YBa2Cu3O7-δ high Tc superconducting thin films. A commercial electromagnetic simulation software, CST Microwave Studio, is used to design and optimize the metamaterial filter structures. The proposed fourcross shaped rectangular filter structure consists of periodic metallic rings where strip lines are located at the sides of the ring. Fourcross metamaterial filters are fabricated by using e-beam lithography and ion beam exhing techniques. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy measurements validated the design predictions for both the center frequencies and bandwidths of the resonances due to the fourcross structures. The resonance switching of the transmission spectra was investigated by lowering the temperature below the critical transition temperature. This resonance switching effect is not observed in filters made up of metals. This novel fourcross rectangular resonator with a temperature-dependent resonance behavior holds great potential for active, tunable and low loss THz devices for imaging, sensing, and detection applications.

    Investigation of the Effect of Thermal Cycling on the Device Performance of Yba2cu3o7-? Dc-Squids
    (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2007) Avcı, İlbeyi; Algül, B. P.; Bozbey, Ali; Akram, R.; Tepe, Mustafa; Abukay, Doğan
    We investigated the effect of thermal cycling on the operational performance of YBa2Cu3O7-δ (YBCO) direct current superconducting quantum interference devices (DC-SQUIDs) fabricated onto 24°SrTiO3 (STO) bicrystal substrates. The devices under investigation consist of directly coupled DC-SQUID magnetometer configurations. Thin films having 200nm thicknesses were deposited by dc-magnetron sputtering and device patterns were made by a standard lithography process and chemical etching. The SQUIDs having 4νm-wide grain boundary Josephson junctions (GBJJs) were characterized by means of critical currents, peak-to-peak output voltages and noise levels, depending on the thermal cycles. In order to achieve a protective layer for the junctions against the undesired effects of thermal cycles and ambient atmosphere during the room temperature storage, the devices were coated with a 400nm thick YBCO layer at room temperature. Since the second layer of amorphous YBCO is completely electrically insulating, it does not affect the operation of the junctions and pick-up coils of magnetometers. This two-layered configuration ensures the protection of the junctions from ambient atmosphere as well as from the effect of water molecules interacting with the film structure during each thermal cycle.
