Abstract
Tl-2212 thin films were grown ex situ in a two step process on a variety of substrates, including ones with artificially introduced high angle steps. Grain boundary weak links were formed on LaAlO3 substrates with steps and on bicrystal substrates and were employed in dc SQUIDs. The white noise level of the SQUIDs was 50 mu Phi(0)/root Hz at 77 K. A 12.5 GHz HEMT oscillator stabilized with a Tl-2212 resonator gave 8-10 dB lower phase noise than using a gold resonator.
