C-axis transport of pnictide single crystals — •Paul Müller1, Yuri Koval1, Günter Behr2, and Bernd Büchner2 — 1Department of Physics, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg — 2IFW Dresden
Mesa structures were fabricated on the (ab) plane of small LaO0.9F0.1FeAs single crystals. Resistance vs. temperature measurements showed metallic behavior with a residual resistance ratio higher than 10. Both magnetic susceptibility and c-axis transport measurements showed the same value for the critical temperature, i.e. ∼20K. Current-voltage characteristics are typical for overdamped Josephson junctions with a critical current density of ∼105 A/cm2. Moreover, the critical current vs. temperature dependence follows the Ambegaokar-Baratoff relation for the maximum dc Josephson current. One possible explanation could be that we have observed an intrinsic Josephson effect in <c>-direction. This is supported by recent measurements of radiation emission between 11 and 12 GHz. Finally, we discuss current injection effects on Josephson critical current and Tc.
