MgB2 superconducting wires with critical temperature Tc approaching 40 K were used for preparation of MgB2/Ag and MgB2/In junctions. The differential conductance vs. voltage characteristics of N-S junctions exhibit clear contribution of…
Detailed temperature dependence of both superconducting gaps was obtained directly by means of SnS-Andreev spectroscopy. The \Delta \sigma,\pi(T) -curves were shown to be deviated from standard BCS-like behavior, due to k-space proximity…
Sandwich-type MgB2 Josephson tunnel junctions (MgB2/AlOx/MgB2) have been fabricated using as-grown MgB2 films formed by molecular beam epitaxy. The junctions exhibited substantial supercurrent and a well-defined superconducting gap…
We studied the voltage and temperature dependency of the dynamic conductance of normal metal-MgB2 junctions obtained either with the point-contact technique (with Au and Pt tips) or by making Ag-paint spots on the surface of high-quality…
We have synthesized MgB2/Pb planar junctions to study the temperature and field dependence of the superconducting energy gap of MgB2. The major peak occurs at Delta of about 2 meV, and this corresponds to a 2Delta/kBTc value of 1.18. While…
