Abstract

High-temperature superconducting Josephson junctions and dc SQUIDs were fabricated using a ramp edge-geometry SNS configuration. Ag-doped YBajCujO. was used as electrodes and PrBazCu3O7.I as barrier. The ICR value of the junctions was in excess of 120 (iV at 75 K. The dc SQUIDs showed a flux modulation depth 9V/aî> over 150 nV/<D0 at 75K. The flux noise of the devices measured with dc bias currents operated at 75 K showed a 1/f dependence at low frequency having values below 100 noHz1/z (the best values in the range of 30-40 -4i<E>oHz1'2) at 1 Hz and less than 5 (i4>oHzt/2 in the white noise region. The voltage modulation and magnetic field noise were 37 -4V and ~2 pTHz1'2 at 1 kHz for the directlycoupled dc SQUID magnetometers (with a pick-up loop 6 mm x 3.5 mm) based on the ramp edgegeometry SNS configuration.
