Side-gate modulation of critical current in mesoscopic Josephson junction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the normal state conductance and the Josephson current in a superconductor-2DEG-superconductor structure where the size/shape of the 2DEG-region can be modified by an additional side-gate electrode. The considered transport properties follow from the retarded Green function which we compute by employing a tight-binding-like representation of the Hamiltonian in the 2DEG region. Our model studies offer a qualitative demonstration of the recently observed effects caused by side-gate modulation.

Large sample-to-sample fluctuations of the nonequilibrium critical current through mesoscopic Josephson junctions
We present a theory for the nonequilibrium current in a mesoscopic Josephson junction which is coupled to a normal electron reservoir, and apply it to a chaotic junction. Large sample-to-sample fluctuations of the critical current Ic are found, with rms Ic.ANeD/\ , when the voltage difference eV between the electron reservoir and the junction exceeds the superconducting gap D and the number of ...
متن کاملSide Gate Tunable Josephson Junctions at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 Interface
Novel physical phenomena arising at the interface of complex oxide heterostructures offer exciting opportunities for the development of future electronic devices. Using the prototypical LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface as a model system, we employ a single-step lithographic process to realize gate-tunable Josephson junctions through a combination of lateral confinement and local side gating. The action ...
متن کاملDirect Measurements of Tunable Josephson Plasma Resonance in the L-set
Phase dynamics has been measured in a driven mesoscopic Josephson oscillator where the resonance is tuned either by magnetic flux or by gate charge modulation of the Josephson inductance. Phenomena are analyzed in terms of a "phase particle picture", and by numerical circuit simulations. An analogy to switching of a DC-biased junction into voltage state is discussed. Operation principle of the ...
متن کاملDC SQUID based on the mesoscopic multiterminal Josephson junction
A theory is offered for a novel device, mesoscopic four-terminal SQUID. The studied system consists of a mesoscopic four-terminal junction, one pair of terminals of which is incorporated in a superconducting ring and the other one is connected with a transport circuit. The nonlocal weak coupling between the terminals leads to effects of phase dragging and magnetic flux transfer. The behaviour o...
متن کاملCoherent Current States in Mesoscopic Four-terminal Josephson Junction
A theory is offered for the ballistic 4-terminal Josephson junction. The studied system consists of a mesoscopic two-dimensional normal rectangular layer which is attached in each side to the bulk superconducting banks (terminals). The relation between the currents through the different terminals, which is valid for arbitrary temperatures and junction sizes, is obtained. The nonlocal coupling o...
