Effect of Helium Ion Irradiation on the Tunneling Behavior in Niobium/Aluminum/Aluminum Oxide/Niobium Josephson Junctions

abstract: The study of high energy particle irradiation effect on Josephson junction tri-layers is relevant to applications in space and radioactive environments. It also allows us to investigate the influence of defects and interfacial intermixing on the junction electrical characteristics. In this...
