摘要
DC superconducting quantum interference devices (dc-SQUIDs) were fabricated in Co-doped BaFe2As2 epitaxial films on (La, Sr)(Al, Ta)O-3 bicrystal substrates with 30 degrees misorientation angles. The 18 x 8 mu m(2) SQUID loop with an estimated inductance of 13 pH contained two 3 mu m wide grain boundary junctions. The voltage-flux characteristics clearly exhibited periodic modulations with Delta V = 1.4 mu V at 14 K, while the intrinsic flux noise of dc-SQUIDs was 7.8 x 10(-5) Phi(0) Hz(-1/2) above 20 Hz. The rather high flux noise is mainly attributed to the small voltage modulation depth which results from the superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor junction nature of the bicrystal grain boundary.
