Theory of generalized Josephson effects

Theory of Generalized Piezoporo Thermoelasticity

In this paper, the basic constitutive equations and equations of motion are derived to describe the behavior of thermoelastic porous piezoelectric medium by using Biot’s theory and the theory of generalized thermoelasticity with on relaxation time (Lord-Shulman). The electrical enthalpy density function is derived in the general coordinates. Also, clear definitions for the poroelastic modulus, ...

Generalized stability law for Josephson series arrays

By deriving an N-dimensional Poincare map, we explore the enhanced stability of Josephson series arrays using capacitive junctions. The analytic expression for the critical Floquet multiplier has a direct physical interpretation, affording new insight into the conditions that affect inphase stability. In particular, we generalize the well-known stability principle previously established for arr...

Theory of Josephson Phenomena in Superfluid 3He

Quite detailed theoretical description of superfluid 3He is possible on length scales that are much larger than the atomic scale. We discuss weak links between two bulk states of 3He-B. The current through the weak link is determined by the bound states at the link. The bound state energies are spin split depending on the order parameters in the bulk. As a result, unusual current–phase relation...

Microscopic tunneling theory of long Josephson junctions.

Three “universal” mesoscopic Josephson effects

A recent theory is reviewed for the sample-to-sample fluctuations in the critical current of a Josephson junction consisting of a disordered point contact or microbridge. The theory is based on a relation between the supercurrent and the scattering matrix in the normal state. The root-mean-square amplitude rms Ic of the critical current Ic at zero temperature is given by rms Ic ≃ e∆0/h̄, up to a...
