Josephson effect in ballistic graphene
نویسندگان
چکیده
We solve the Dirac–Bogoliubov–de Gennes equation in an impurity-free superconductor–normal-metal– superconductor junction, to determine the maximal supercurrent Ic that can flow through an undoped strip of graphene with heavily doped superconducting electrodes. The result Ic W /L e 0 / is determined by the superconducting gap 0 and by the aspect ratio of the junction length L small relative to the width W and to the superconducting coherence length . Moving away from the Dirac point of zero doping, we recover the usual ballistic result Ic W / F e 0 / , in which the Fermi wavelength F takes over from L. The product IcRN 0 /e of the critical current and normal-state resistance retains its universal value up to a numerical prefactor on approaching the Dirac point.

Josephson current in ballistic superconductor-graphene systems
We calculate the phase, the temperature and the junction length dependence of the supercurrent for ballistic graphene Josephson junctions. For low temperatures we find nonsinusoidal dependence of the supercurrent on the superconductor phase difference for both short and long junctions. The skewness, which characterizes the deviaton of the current-phase relation from a simple sinusoidal one, sho...

We use a tight-binding Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) formalism to self-consistently calculate the proximity effect, Josephson current, and local density of states in ballistic graphene SNS Josephson junctions. Both short and long junctions, with respect to the superconducting coherence length, are considered, as well as different doping levels of the graphene. We show that self-consistency does no...

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 کاملBallistic Graphene Josephson Junctions from the Short to the Long Junction Regimes.
We investigate the critical current I_{C} of ballistic Josephson junctions made of encapsulated graphene-boron-nitride heterostructures. We observe a crossover from the short to the long junction regimes as the length of the device increases. In long ballistic junctions, I_{C} is found to scale as ∝exp(-k_{B}T/δE). The extracted energies δE are independent of the carrier density and proportiona...

Much efforts have been made for the realization of hybrid Josephson junctions incorporating various materials for the fundamental studies of exotic physical phenomena as well as the applications to superconducting quantum devices. Nonetheless, the efforts have been hindered by the diffusive nature of the conducting channels and interfaces. To overcome the obstacles, we vertically sandwiched a c...
