Noise study of a high-T, Josephson junction under near-millimeter-wave irradiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Noise studies of both the dc and ac Josephson effects have been performed on a high-T, ramp-type Josephson junction irradiated at 176 GHz. Well-established analytical results for noise in overdamped RSJs are used to model the measured I-V characteristics, and their agreement is excellent. Noise-rounded I-V curves at the critical current and the first and second Shapiro steps under coherent 176 GHYz radiation have been studied in detail at several temperatures and rf power levels. The noise temperatures inferred from these simulations are close to the physical temperatures. An increase of noise temperatures at high radiation power levels is a result of radiation heating, which could be due to a bolometric effect.

In this paper, a dc Josephson junction between two singlet superconductors (d-wave and s-wave) with arbitrary reflection coefficient has been investigated theoretically. For the case of high Tc superconductors, the c-axes are parallel to an interface with finite transparency and their ab-planes have a mis-orientation. The physics of potential barrier will be demonstrated by a transparency coeff...

P We have studied the response of a YBCO/PBCO/YBCO ramp-type junction to coherent radiation at 176 and 270 GHz. The 1-V characteristic of the junction closely resembles the prediction of the RSJ model. The I$, product of the junction is 0.25 mV at 5 K. The millimeter-wave radiation is coupled to the junction via a quasioptical structure that focuses the radiation onto the junction through a ytt...

In this paper, the density of states (DOS) of a planar d-wave Josephson junction is studied analytically. Two high temperature superconductors are separated by an interface with finite transparency coefficient. The c-axes are parallel to the interface and ab-axes have a mis-orientation. The tunneling occurs via the interface because of phase difference between superconducting bulks. The effec...

We report on high frequency measurements of underdamped Josephson junction arrays consisting of two rows of parallel biased cells. The rf voltage generated on the junctions transverse to the bias current (horizontal junctions) is detected by a room temperature receiver in the Wband. In order to enhance the emitted power, it has been proposed (S.P.Y.) that the single horizontal junction in each ...

2014 The Josephson frequency conversion in the millimeter and submillimeter wave region is studied with superconducting Nb-Nb point contact junctions at 4.2 K, using the contact both as the local oscillator and the mixer with intermediate frequencies of 0.1 and 9.2 GHz. Frequency conversion signals are only detected in the latter case with a microwave receiver at 9.2 GHz in a range of Josephson...
