One way to create hysteretic Josephson junctions from the currently available nonhysteretic high temperature superconducting junctions is to artificially add capacitance. We have adapted a multilayer technique for artificial capacitance addition/grain boundary modification to produce TlCaBaCuO step-edge junctions exhibiting large amounts of hysteresis at 77 K. A gaplike structure is present at 32–36 mV that has a temperature dependence that does not contradict that predicted by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory. In addition, the junctions show fast switching times, less than a fixture limited 20 ps, and Fraunhofer-like dependence of critical current on magnetic field.
