Using advanced sample engineering we performed simultaneous measurement of intrinsic (interlayer) tunnelling characteristics and in-situ monitoring of temperature in small Bi-2212 mesa structures. Together with a systematic study of…
A wide-band cryogenic amplifier measurement system for time-resolved four-point IV-characteristic measurements on 2212-BSCCO mesa structures is described. We present measurements which demonstrate the importance of self-heating on 50 ns…
The c-axis tunneling properties of both pristine Bi2212 and its HgBr$_2$ intercalate have been measured in the temperature range 4.2 - 250 K. Lithographically patterned 7-10 unit-cell heigh mesa structures on the surfaces of these single…
We report four-point IV measurements of the c-axis conductivity of mesa structures of 2212-BSCCO, using a system with sub-microsecond resolution along with multi-level pulses. These allow a test to be made for the presence of nonequilibrium…
Intrinsic c-axis tunnelling in the superconducting state has been measured in zero and finite fields in small mesa structures fabricated on the surface of 2212-BSCCO single crystals. The temperature dependence of the zero-field critical…
We study analytically and numerically a problem of self-heating in small mesa structures. Our results show that the self-heating is proportional to a characteristic in-plane size of the mesa. Experimental data for small high-$T_c$…
We present intrinsic tunneling spectroscopy measurements on small Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$ mesas. The tunnel conductance curves show both sharp peaks at the superconducting gap voltage and broad humps representing the $c$-axis…
I analyze common problems of interlayer tunneling in Bi-2212 mesa structures, such as self-heating and nonuniformity of junctions. Numerical simulations have shown that self-heating does not mask the temperature dependence of the…
We consider the problem of c-axis transport in double-layered cuprates, in particular with reference to Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$ compounds. We exploit the effect of the two barriers on the thermal and tunnel transport. The…
The out-of-plane current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of Bi2212 are studied in experimental environments of different heat transfer efficiency, allowing practical separation of intrinsic and extrinsic phenomena. {\it Intrinsic}…
This work investigates the relationship between self-heating and the characteristic features observed in the current-voltage characteristics (IVCs) of superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) junctions. Finite-element analysis is…
In a recent paper [Phys.Rev.B 81, 224518 (2010)], C. Kurter et al, analyzed the effect of strong self-heating in large-area Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ (Bi-2212) mesa structures. They conclude that $dI/dV$ conductance peaks in their…
Recent measurements of the London penetration depth tensor in the cuprates find a weak temperature dependence along the c-direction which is seemingly inconsistent with evidence for d-wave pairing deduced from in-plane measurements. We…
We study the spectral and thermodynamic properties of inhomogeneous d-wave superconductors within a model where the inhomogeneity originates from atomic scale pair disorder. This assumption has been shown to be consistent with the small…
The recent PRB, henceforth referred as Ref.[1], experimentally resolves the intrinsic shape of the c-axis current-voltage characteristics (IVC) of HTSC and demonstrates that at sufficiently high heat loads the heating-induced IVC…
In order to separate electronic and phonon mechanisms of thermal transport in high temperature superconducting Bi2212, we measured thermal conductivity of single crystals of Y-doped Bi2212, an insulating analogue of pure Bi2212, in the…
Low-temperature (down to $\sim$ 50 mK) thermal conductivity measurements with the heat flow direction along the inter-plane tetragonal $c$-axis, $\kappa_c$, were used to study the superconducting state of heavy fermion CeIrIn$_5$.…
Results are presented for the temperature and frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the diagonal self energy for a d-wave superconductor. An Eliashberg analysis, which has been successful in recent fitting of…
Anomalously high and sharp peaks in the conductance of intrinsic Josephson junctions in Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$ (Bi2212) mesas have been universally interpreted as superconducting energy gaps, but here we show they are a…
Motivated by the peculiar features observed through intrinsic tunneling spectroscopy of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ mesas in the normal state, we have extended the normal state two-barrier model for the c-axis transport [M. Giura et…
