N2 - We prepared MgB2 films by coevaporation of pure Mg and B metals in an ultra high vacuum chamber. These films have c-axis orientation and a slightly depressed Tc (∼ 35 K). We fabricated various tunnel junctions (SIN and SIS) using these as-grown MgB2 films. Of these, Au/MgO/MgB2 junctions showed typical SIN characteristics with a clear superconducting gap of Δ ∼ 2.5 meV. This gap value may correspond to the smaller gap in the multi-gap scenario. Preliminary MgB2/Al 2O3/MgB2 junctions exhibited SIS characteristics, although not ideal, with a similar value of Δ.
