Both of the S1and S2layers are formed by MgB2but due to the proximity effect have different characteristics. Two orientations of the MgB2superconductors are considered. In one junction, the c-axis of MgB2in the S-layer is perpendicular to the interface, while in the other, the ab-plane is perpendicular to the interface. The different transparencies of the two MgB2/normal-metal interfaces, the normal state resistances of the currents flow from S1to S2in each band and the N-layer thickness are taken into account. The critical Josephson currents in both the c-axis and ab-plane oriented junctions are studied near the critical temperature. The predicted currents are compared with the experimental currents and are seen to fit the data above 0.4TC. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.
