متن کاملQuantum terahertz electrodynamics and macroscopic quantum tunneling in layered superconductors.
We derive a quantum field theory of Josephson plasma waves (JPWs) in layered superconductors, which describes two types of interacting JPW bosonic quanta (one heavy and one lighter). We propose a mechanism of enhancement of macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) in stacks of intrinsic Josephson junctions. Because of the long-range interaction between junctions in layered superconductors, the calcu...
متن کاملTerahertz Wave Emission from Intrinsic Josephson Junctions in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ
We have studied the conditions for the THz radiation in many systems with different shapes and dimensions such as rectangles, squares, cylinders and (equilateral and isosceles including right-angled isosceles) triangles and rectangles with non-uniform width (asymmetric rectangles) fabricated from single crystals of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ, which are known as a typical intrinsic Josephson junction syste...
متن کاملEnhanced Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ Intrinsic Josephson Junction Stacks
We have investigated macroscopic quantum tunneling in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ intrinsic Josephson junctions at millikelvin temperatures using microwave irradiation. Measurements show that the escape rate for uniformly switching stacks of N junctions is about N times higher than that of a single junction having the same plasma frequency. We argue that this gigantic enhancement of macroscopic quantum tun...
متن کاملEmission of coherent terahertz electromagnetic waves from a stack of intrinsic Josephson junctions of high-temperature superconductors
Terahertz (1 THz = 10 Hz) radiation bridges the gap between the microwave and optical regimes to offer significant scientific and technological potential in many fields [1]. The possibility of compact, solid-state, and continuous wave (CW) terahertz sources has received extensive attention in the field of semiconductors and lasers, with applications in sensing, imaging, and spectroscopy. Since ...
