Dc Transformer and Dc Josephson(-like) Effects in Quantum Hall Bilayers
نویسنده
چکیده
In the early days of superconductivity, Ivar Giaver discovered that it was possible to make a novel DC transformer by using one superconductor to drag vortices through another. An analogous effect was predicted to exist in quantum Hall bilayers and has recently been discovered experimentally by Eisenstein’s group at Caltech. Similarly, new experiments from the Caltech group have demonstrated the existence of a Josephson-like ‘supercurrent’ branch for electrons coherently tunnelling between the two layers.

New Josephson-like effect in a superconductlng transformer
The coupled motion of the vortex lattices of two electrically insulated, superimposed, superconducting thin films Cprimary and secondary) in a perpendicular magnetic field, is predicted to exhibit a Josephson-like behavior. For a dc applied current flowing in the primary film, the voltage difference between the time-averaged primary and secondary flux flow voltages obeys the equations of a resi...
متن کاملSuperfluidity and Superconductivity in Double-Layered Quantum Hall state
We discuss and review the basic physics that leads to superfluidity/superconductivity in certain quantum Hall states, in particular the so-called double-layered (mmm) state. In the K-matrix description of the quantum correlation in quantum Hall states, those states with det(K) = 0 contain a special correlation that leads to superfluidity/superconductivity. We propose a four-terminal measurement...
متن کاملIs there a dc Josephson effect in bilayer quantum Hall systems?
We argue on the basis of phenomenological and microscopic considerations that there is no dc Josephson effect in ordered bilayer quantum Hall systems, even at T = 0. Instead the tunnel conductance is strongly enhanced, approaching a finite value proportional to the square of the order parameter as the interlayer tunneling amplitude vanishes.
متن کاملTunneling at νT = 1 in quantum Hall bilayers
Interlayer tunneling measurements in the strongly correlated bilayer quantized Hall phase at νT = 1 are reported. The maximum, or critical, current for tunneling at νT = 1 is shown to be a well-defined global property of the coherent phase, insensitive to extrinsic circuit effects and the precise configuration used to measure it, but also exhibiting a surprising scaling behavior with temperatur...
متن کاملA Phenomenological Study of Interlayer Tunneling in Double-Layered Quantum Hall Systems
We study interlayer transport in double-layered (mmm) quantum Hall liquids in the weak tunneling limit, in particular the effects of lead geometry on the I-V characteristics of interlayer tunneling. We proposed several practical ways to study experimentally the novel interlayer transport properties in the double-layered (mmm) quantum Hall liquids. Some concrete predictions on the DC characteris...
