✦ Synopsis
Josephson tunneling I-V characteristics have been observed in break j unctions of oxygen-annealed Bi2Sr2CaCu2Os (Bi-2212 ) single crystals, with foR. ~ 21.3 mV, and with a sharp quasipartiele edge at 2zt ~ 2 × 20 mV. This demonstrates that low values of the IoR. product, thus far as observed in HTS thin-film junctions, do not represent a fundamental limitation. The sharp quasipanicle current rise at eV= 2zt in these SIS break junctions appears to afford an accurate measurement to be made of a welldefined gap edge.
