摘要
Interface-engineered ramp-edge junctions (IEJ) have been characterised by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray analysis and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The IEJ are prepared by plasma etching an ion-milled YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) ramp-edge and subsequently a top YBCO layer is deposited. The results show that the YBCO at the plasma-etched interface has a modified structure. The modified barrier structure has a pseudo cubic unit cell which is rotated 45 degrees around the [001] axis with respect to the underlying YBCO.
