Abstract

The current-voltage characteristics of YBCO/PBCO/Au planar structures reflect the resistance behavior of PBCO in the c-axis direction. With increasing applied voltages the PBCO barrier shows a transition from thermally-activated hopping conductivity to an activationless-hopping regime. Variable-range hopping and weak-localization models are discussed to explain the experimental data. An account of the Lifshitz correlation in the hopping conductivity gives an satisfactory agreement with the junction resistivity for c-axis PBCO barrier thicknesses of 10 to 40 nm.
