ABSTRACT:
A method for forming an insulating layer in an oxide high-temperature superconductor is described. The oxide high-temperature superconductor is exposed to radiation, whereby an interface showing superconducting characteristics and/or a weak link that is present at an interface in the said oxide high-temperature superconductor is transformed to a thin insulating layer.
