ABSTRACT:
A device made with thin layers comprises at least two layers of materials having different electrical characteristics. At least one of the layers is superconductive. The superconductive layer comprises a rare earth (or yttrium) which is chosen so as to confer superconductive characteristics. The other layer has a constitution which differs from that of the superconductive layer, solely by the fact that the rare earth is different and confers different electrical properties.
