Counting Electrical Charges: a Problem of Thermal Escape and Quantum Tunneling in Presence of Non-gaussian Noise
Electrical noise produced when charges flow through a mesoscopic conductor is non-Gaussian, where higher order cumulants carry valuable information about the microscopic transport process. In these notes we briefly discuss the experimental situation and show that theoretical descriptions for the detection of electrical noise with Josephson junctions lead to generalizations of classical and quan...
متن کاملProperties of Josephson Point-contact Far-infrared Detectors
The far-infrared (FIR) properties of niobium cat-whisker point contacts were studied using radiation from an optically pumped FIR laser. The reproducible behaviour of junctions with excellent high-frequency performance allowed a measurement of the FIR frequency dependence of the strength of the a.c. Josephson effect. The shape of the laser-induced steps was used to measure the effective noise t...
متن کاملJosephson 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...
متن کاملJosephson junctions as threshold detectors for full counting statistics.
We discuss how threshold detectors can be used for a direct measurement of the full distribution of current fluctuations and how to exploit Josephson junctions in this respect. We propose a scheme to characterize the full counting statistics from the current dependence of the escape rate measured. We illustrate the scheme with explicit results for tunnel, diffusive, and quasiballistic mesoscopi...
متن کاملAtomic structure and oxygen deficiency of the ultrathin aluminium oxide barrier in Al/AlOx/Al Josephson junctions
Al/AlOx/Al Josephson junctions are the building blocks of a wide range of superconducting quantum devices that are key elements for quantum computers, extremely sensitive magnetometers and radiation detectors. The properties of the junctions and the superconducting quantum devices are determined by the atomic structure of the tunnel barrier. The nanoscale dimension and disordered nature of the ...
