Josephson effect without superconductivity: realization in quantum Hall bilayers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that a quantum Hall bilayer with the total filling nu = 1 should exhibit a dynamical regime similar to the flux flow in large Josephson junctions. This analogy may explain a conspicuous peak in the interlayer tunneling conductance [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5808 (2000)]. The flux flow is likely to be spatiotemporally chaotic at low-bias voltage, which will manifest itself through broadband noise. The peak position can be controlled by an in-plane magnetic field.

Dc Transformer and Dc Josephson(-like) Effects in Quantum Hall Bilayers
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 th...
متن کامل8π-periodic dissipationless ac Josephson effect on a quantum spin-Hall edge via a Quantum magnetic impurity
Time-reversal invariance places strong constraints on the properties of the quantum spin Hall edge. One such restriction is the inevitability of dissipation in a Josephson junction between two superconductors formed on such an edge without the presence of interaction. Interactions and spinconservation breaking are key ingredients for the realization of dissipationless ac Josephson effect on suc...
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 کاملJosephson Currents in the Bilayer Exciton Condensate
Reducing the dimension of an electronic charge system from three to two leads to the emergence of intriguing phenomena like the integer and fractional quantum Hall effect (QHE) or special forms of superconductivity . Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) in GaAs quantum wells embedded in AlGaAs buffer layers are unique because of their extreme high purity characterized by electron and hole mobi...
متن کاملThe time reversal invariant fractional Josephson effect
One of the most basic consequences of topological superconductivity is the fractional Josephson effect, which arises due to the coherent tunneling of single electrons between two superconductors, leading to an ac Josephson effect with half the usual Josephson frequency. In this paper we will review the theoretical and experimental foundations of topological superconductivity and the fractional ...
