ABSTRACT:
Grain boundary, weak-link junctions are formed at a predermined location of a uniform, planar substrate by depositing superconducting film on two sections of the substrate. The film is grown as a bicrystal having two distinct areas of superconducting film whose crystal lattices are rotated with respect to each other, either in-plane or out-of-plane, by more than 5.degree. and less than 90.degree.. The grain boundary acts as a weak link junction. The film can be induced to grow as a bicrystal by depositing intermediate strata such as seed layers or buffer layers or by modifying the growth conditions during deposition.
