Abstract:
The main parameters of the tunneling barrier of the Josephson junctions Nb/AlO$_{x}$/Nb and Nb/AlN/Nb were estimated using the Simmons method in a wide range of current densities. The dependences of the height and width of the tunnel barrier on the resistivity for each type of junctions are experimentally determined. A decrease in the height of the AlN tunnel barrier by 0.3 eV, compared with the oxide one, makes it possible to obtain junctions with a current density above 15 kA/cm$^{2}$ at a technologically achievable insulation layer of the order of 10 Angstroms, which makes it possible to realize the quality parameter $R_{j}/R_{n}$ not lower than 25.
Keywords:
superconductivity, superconducting tunnel junction, tunnel barrier parameters, Simmons method, terahertz-range receivers.
