Current responses and voltage fluctuations in Josephson-junction systems

– We consider arrays of Josephson junctions as well as single junctions in both the classical and quantum-mechanical regimes, and examine the generalized (frequency-dependent) resistance, which describes the dynamic responses of such Josephson-junction systems to external currents. It is shown that the generalized resistance and the power spectrum of voltage fluctuations are related via the flu...

Josephson junction with a magnetic-field tunable ground state.

We consider an asymmetric 0-π Josephson junction consisting of 0 and π regions of different lengths L(0) and L(π). As predicted earlier this system can be described by an effective sine-Gordon equation for the spatially averaged phase ψ so that the effective current-phase relation of this system includes a negative second harmonic ∝sin(2ψ). If its amplitude is large enough, the ground state of ...

Magnetic field dependence of the critical current of tridimensional YBa2Cu3O7−δ Josephson junction arrays

In this paper we determine the magnetic field dependence of the critical current of a tridimensional disordered Josephson junction array (3D-DJJA). A contactless configuration, employing measurements of the AC-susceptibility, is used to evaluate the average critical current of an array of YBa2Cu3O7−δ. The critical field necessary to switch off supercurrents through the weak links at the working...

Josephson Current For a Graphene Nanoribbon Using a Lattice Model

A tight binding approach based on the Bogoliubov-de Gennes approach has been used to calculate the DC Josephson current for a lattice model for S-GNR-S junctions , for short junctions with respect to superconducting coherence length. We calculate the phase, length, width and chemical potential dependence at the Josephson junction and discuss the similarities and differences with regard to the t...
