| he characterization of the interfaces in novel High-T;Ground plane effects were also examined on these junctions using a thin-film of YBCO on a flip-chip substrate. From this, it was learned that the modification to the flux-focusing near the junction by the ground plane is much more influential on flux penetration than Meissner shielding effects. The ground plane added many features desired for industrial applications (such as a very smooth supercurrent distribution and uncomplicated I;This work comprises a study of the latest... |
