Abstract

The magnetic field dependent c-axis dissipation in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y single crystals is shown to agree with that of a series stack of Josephson tunnel junctions. We extract the Josephson coupling energy Ej from the measured the c-axis resistance as a function of the angle θ between the c-axis and the magnetic field B using an extended Ambegaokar-Halperin model. For B > 0.5T, Ej increases continuously with both decreasing temperature and decreasing magnetic field. At T = 78K, Ej exhibits a B−0.5 behavior.
