Abstract

We report recent results on the synthesis and transport properties of a-axis oriented YBa₂Cu₃0₇/ PrBa₂Cu₃0₇ (YBCO/ PBCO) superlattices. A-axis oriented YBCO is of great interest in fabricating sandwich tunnel junctions since the coherence length in this direction is much greater than that in the caxis direction. There have been reports of supercurrent in YBCO/PBCO/YBCO junctions across up to 1500Å of PBCO.^1,2 We use the YBCO/PBCO multilayer system to investigate the decoupling length of the YBCO across PBCO by changing the modulation wavelength. The resistive transitions of these superlattices in magnetic field show a crossover temperature above which they are insensitive to magnetic fields and below which broadening occurs; this may be related to the disappearance of the coupling between YBCO layers above T*.
