Layered superconductors are periodic structures, where thin superconductinglayers (about 0.2 nm) are separated by the thicker insulator ones (about 1.5 nm), and are electrodynamically related to each other due to the intrinsicJosephson effect. 1. Layered superconductors Natural strongly anisotropic high-Tc crystals Bi2 Sr2 Ca Cu2O8+δ or artificial compounds like Nb /Al – Al Ox / Nb aretheexamplesof such materials.
