Abstract Half-integer microwave induced steps (Shapiro steps) have been observed in many different Josephson junction systems, which have attracted a lot of attention because they signify the deviation of current phase relation (CPR) and uncover many unconventional physical properties. In this article, we first report the discovery of half-integer Shapiro steps in MgB$_2$ focused He ion beam (He-FIB) Josephson junctions. The half-integer steps' dependence on microwave frequency, temperature, microwave power, and magnetic field is also analyzed. We find that the existence of half-integer steps can be controlled by the magnetic field periodically, which is similar to that of high temperature superconductor (HTS) grain boundary junctions, and the similarity of the microstructures between gain boundary junctions and He-FIB junctions is discussed. As a consequence, we mainly attribute the physical origin of half-integer steps in MgB$_2$ He-FIB junctions to the model that a He-FIB junction is analogous to a parallel junctions' array. Our results show that He-FIB technology is a promising platform for researching CPR in junctions made of different superconductors.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
