Mesoscopic Josephson Effect
In the classical Josephson effect the phase difference across the junction is well defined, and the supercurrent is reduced only weakly by phase diffusion. For mesoscopic junctions with small capacitance the phase undergoes large quantum fluctuations, and the current is also decreased by Coulomb blockade effects. We discuss the behavior of the current-voltage characteristics in a large range of...
متن کاملMesoscopic Multiterminal Josephson Structures. I. Effects of Nonlocal Weak Coupling
We investigate nonlocal coherent transport in ballistic four-terminal Josephson structures (where bulk superconductors (terminals) are connected through a clean normal layer, e.g., a two-dimensional electron gas). Coherent anisotropic superposition of macroscopic wave functions of the superconductors in the normal region produces phase slip lines (2D analogs to phase slip centres) and time-reve...
متن کاملThree “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...
متن کاملCurrent driven transition from Abrikosov-Josephson to Josephson-like vortex in mesoscopic lateral S/S’/S superconducting weak links
Vortices are topological defects accounting for many important effects in superconductivity, superfluidity, and magnetism. Here we address the stability of a small number of such excitations driven by strong external forces. We focus on Abrikosov-Josephson vortex that appears in lateral superconducting S/S'/S weak links with suppressed superconductivity in S'. In such a system the vortex is nuc...
متن کاملSuperconductivity in a Mesoscopic Double Square Loop: Effect of Imperfections
We have generalized the network approach to include the effects of shortrange imperfections in order to analyze recent experiments on mesoscopic superconducting double loops. The presence of weakly scattering imperfections causes gaps in the phase boundary B(T ) or Φ(T ) for certain intervals of T , which depend on the magnetic flux penetrating each loop. This is accompanied by a critical tempe...
