Josephson Currents Induced by the Witten Effect.
We reveal the existence of a new type of topological Josephson effect involving type II superconductors and three-dimensional topological insulators as tunnel junctions. We predict that vortex lines induce a variant of the Witten effect that is the consequence of the axion electromagnetic response of the topological insulator: at the interface of the junction each flux quantum attains a fractio...
متن کاملGravitational Faraday rotation in a weak gravitational field
Abstract We examine the rotation of the plane of polarization for linearly polarized light rays by the weak gravitational field of an isolated physical system. Based on the rotation of inertial frames, we review the general integral expression for the net rotation. We apply this formula, analogue to the usual electromagnetic Faraday effect, to some interesting astrophysical systems: uniformly s...
متن کاملPair production in a strong magnetic field: the effect of a weak background gravitational field
The production probability of an e− − e+ pair in the presence of a strong, uniform and slowly varying magnetic field is calculated by taking into account the presence of a background gravitational field. The curvature of the spacetime metric induced by the gravitational field not only changes the transition probabilities calculated in the Minkowski spacetime but also primes transitions that are...
متن کاملNoise-induced dephasing of an ac-driven Josephson junction.
We consider the phase-locked dynamics of a Josephson junction driven by finite-spectral-linewidth ac current. By means of a transformation, the effect of frequency fluctuations is reduced to an effective additive noise, the corresponding (large) dephasing time being determined, in the logarithmic approximation, by the Kramers expression for the lifetime. For sufficiently small values of the dri...
متن کاملTheory of AC Josephson Effect in Superconducting Constrictions
We have developed a microscopic theory of ac Josephson effect in short ballistic superconducting constrictions with arbitrary electron transparency, and constrictions with diffusive electron transport. As applications of the theory we study smearing of the subgap current singularities by pair-breaking effects in the superconducting electrodes of the constriction, and the structure of these sing...
