Quantum noise in current biased Josephson junction
Quantum fluctuations in a current biased Josephson junction, described in terms of the RCSJ-model, are considered. The fluctuations of the voltage and phase across the junction are assumed to be initiated by equilibrium current fluctuations in the shunting resistor. This corresponds to low enough temperatures, when fluctuations of the normal current in the junction itself can be neglected. We u...
متن کاملTunable photonic crystal for THz radiation in layered superconductors: Strong magnetic-field dependence of the transmission coefficient
Josephson plasma waves are scattered by the Josephson vortex lattice. This scattering results in a strong dependence, on the in-plane magnetic-field Hab, of the reflection and transmission of THz radiation propagating in layered superconductors. In particular, a tunable band-gap structure (THz photonic crystal) occurs in such a medium. These effects can be used, by varying Hab, for the selectiv...
متن کاملExperiments and simulations of picosecond pulse switching and turn-on delay time in Y–Ba–Cu–O Josephson junctions
We report our studies on single-picosecond electrical pulse switching of YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) grain-boundary bicrystal Josephson junctions. The test structures consisted of coplanar strip (CPS) transmission lines that were patterned in 50 nm thick YBCO films prepared on (100) MgO bicrystal substrates. Each CPS contained a 5 μm wide, 10 μm long microbridge and a 5 μm wide grain-boundary Josephson ...
متن کاملSuppression of the superconducting energy gap in intrinsic Josephson junctions of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ single crystals
We have observed back-bending structures at high bias current in the current-voltage curves of intrinsic Josephson junctions. These structures may be caused by nonequilibrium quasiparticle injection and/or Joule heating. The energy gap suppression varies considerably with temperature. Different levels of the suppression are observed when the same level of current passes through top electrodes o...
متن کاملAveraged equations for distributed Josephson junction arrays
We use an averaging method to study the dynamics of a transmission line studded by Josephson junctions. The averaged system is used as a springboard for studying experimental strategies which rely on spatial non-uniformity to achieve enhanced synchronization. A reduced model for the near resonant case elucidates in physical terms the key to achieving stable synchronized dynamics. © 2004 Elsevie...
