Abstract:

Superconducting Nb/Au/Ca1-xSrxCuO2/YBa2Cu3O7 mesa-heterostructures were investigated. Dependencies of electrical parameters versus inverse capacitance were measured. A band diagram which takes into account an accumulation of holes in Ca1-xSrxCuO2 interlayer and band bending due to difference of work functions was proposed. The dependencies of electrical parameters were analyzed by examining the quasipartical and superconducting currents.
