  • Abstract
    A procedure in which Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) is used to control barrier thickness has been developed for the fabrication of Nb3Ge-Al2O3-Pb tunneling junctions. Both high-resistance and low-resistance Josephson junctions have been made using this technique. A similar procedure has been used to form junctions of V3Si crystals.
