Li et al. found that the critical current density JcJ across atomically clean c-axis twist junctions of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O(8+x) is the same as that of the constituent single crystal, JcS, independent of the twist angle phi0, even at Tc. We investigated theoretically if a dx2-y2-wave order parameter might twist by mixing in dxy components, but find that such twisting cannot possibly explain the data near to Tc. Hence, the order parameter contains an s-wave component, but not any dx2-y2-wave component. In addition, the c-axis Josephson tunneling is completely incoherent. We also propose a c-axis junction tricrystal experiment which does not rely upon expensive substrates.

We calculate the critical current density $J^J_c$ for c-axis Josephson tunneling between identical high temperature superconductors twisted an angle $phi_0$ about the c-axis. We model the tunneling matrix element squared as a Gaussian in the change o
f wavevector q parallel to the junction, $<|t({bf q})|^2>proptoexp(-{bf q}^2a^2/2pi^2sigma^2)$. The $J^J_c(phi_0)/J^J_c(0)$ obtained for the s- and extended-s-wave order parameters (OPs) are consistent with the Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+delta}$ data of Li {it et al.}, but only for strongly incoherent tunneling, $sigma^2ge0.25$. A $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave OP is always inconsistent with the data. In addition, we show that the apparent conventional sum rule violation observed by Basov et al. might be understandable in terms of incoherent c-axis tunneling, provided that the OP is not $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave.
We report a c-axis-polarized electronic Raman scattering study of Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+delta} single crystals. In the normal state, a resonant electronic continuum extends to 1.5 eV and gains significant intensity as the incoming photon energy increase
s. In the superconducting state, a coherence 2Delta peak appears around 50 meV, with a suppression of the scattering intensity at frequencies below the peak position. The peak energy, which is higher than that seen with in-plane polarizations, signifies distinctly different dynamics of quasiparticle excitations created with out-of-plane polarization.
With simple but exactly solvable model, we investigate the supercurrent transferring through the c-axis cuprate superconductor-normal metal-superconductor junctions with the clean normal metal much thicker than its coherence length. It is shown that
the supercurrent as a function of thickness of the normal metal decreases much slower than the exponential decaying expected by the proximity effect. The present result may account for the giant proximity effect observed in the c-axis cuprate SNS junctions.
Josephson current between two superconductors provides a phase sensitive tool for probing their pairing symmetries. Here we fabricate and study experimentally high-quality Josephson junctions between a conventional s-wave superconductor Nb and a mult
i-band iron-pnictide Ba$_{1-x}$Na$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$. Junctions exhibit a large enough critical current density to preclude the d-wave symmetry of the order parameter in the pnictide. However, the $I_cR_n$ product is very small $simeq 3~mu$V, which is not consistent with the sign-preserving $s_{++}$ symmetry either. We argue that the small $I_cR_n$ value along with its unusual temperature dependence provide evidence for the $s_{pm}$ symmetry of the order parameter in Ba$_{1-x}$Na$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$. We conclude that it is the phase sensitivity of our junctions that leads to an almost complete (bellow a sub-percent) cancellation of opposite supercurrents from the sign-reversal $s_{pm}$ bands in the pnictide.
The Josephson Plasma Resonance is used to study the c-axis supercurrent in the superconducting state of underdoped Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+delta}$ with varying degrees of controlled point-like disorder, introduced by high-energy electron irra
diation. As disorder is increased, the Josephson Plasma frequency decreases proportionally to the critical temperature. The temperature dependence of the plasma frequency does not depend on the irradiation dose, and is in quantitative agreement with a model for quantum fluctuations of the superconducting phase in the CuO$_{2}$ layers.
