Stochastic and deterministic phase slippage in quasi-one-dimensional superconducting nanowires exposed to microwaves
We study current–voltage (V–I) characteristics of short superconducting nanowires of length ∼ 100 nm exposed to microwave (MW) radiation of frequencies between 2 and 15GHz. The radiation causes a decrease of the average switching current of the wire. This suppression of the switching current is modeled assuming that there is one-to-one correspondence between Little’s phase slips, which are micr...
متن کاملDissipation in quasi-one-dimensional superconducting single-crystal Sn nanowires
Electrical transport measurements were made on single-crystal Sn nanowires to understand the intrinsic dissipation mechanisms of a one-dimensional superconductor. While the resistance of wires of diameter larger than 70 nm drops precipitously to zero at Tc near 3.7 K, a residual resistive tail extending down to low temperature is found for wires with diameters of 20 and 40 nm. As a function of ...
متن کاملSwitching currents limited by single phase slips in one-dimensional superconducting Al nanowires.
An aluminum nanowire switches from superconducting to normal as the current is increased in an upsweep. The switching current (I(s)) averaged over upsweeps approximately follows the depairing critical current (I(c)) but falls below it. Fluctuations in I(s) exhibit three distinct regions of behaviors and are nonmonotonic in temperature: saturation well below the critical temperature T(c), an inc...
متن کاملDichotomy in short superconducting nanowires: Thermal phase slippage vs. Coulomb blockade
– Quasi-one-dimensional superconductors or nanowires exhibit a transition into a nonsuperconducting regime, as their diameter shrinks. We present measurements on ultrashort nanowires (∼40–190 nm long) in the vicinity of this quantum transition. Properties of all wires in the superconducting phase, even those close to the transition, can be explained in terms of thermally activated phase slips. ...
متن کاملAtomic and electronic properties of quasi-one-dimensional MOS2 nanowires.
The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of quasi-one-dimensional MoS2 nanowires, passivated by extra sulfur, have been determined using ab initio density-functional theory. The nanostructures were simulated using several different models based on experimental electron microscopy images. It is found that independently of the geometrical details and the coverage of extra sulfur at the ...
