چکیده

We investigate hysteresis in the transport properties of superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor (S-N-S) junctions at low temperatures by measuring directly the electron temperature in the normal metal. Our results demonstrate unambiguously that the hysteresis results from an increase of the normal-metal electron temperature once the junction switches to the resistive state. In our geometry, the electron temperature increase is governed by the thermal resistance of the superconducting electrodes of the junction.

Hysteresis loop induced by rf radiation in Josephson junctions: an analytical approach

A collective coordinate approach is applied toanalyze the effect of an ifsignal on the radiation emitted from a long Josephson junction. This system shows a variety of interesting nonlinear phenomena including chaos and hysteresis. Consideringthe excited localized nonlinear oscillation as an effective breather mode, we derive a nonlinear equation for the collective variable of the breather and ...

Josephson Junction Arrays with Long-Range Interactions

We calculate the current-voltage (IV ) characteristics of a Josephson junction array with long-range interactions. The array consists of two sets of equally-spaced parallel superconducting wires placed at right angles. A Josephson junction is formed at every point wherever the wires cross. We treat each such junction as an overdamped resistively-shunted junction, and each wire segment between t...

Incommensurate dynamics of resonant breathers in Josephson junction ladders

We present theoretical and experimental studies of resonant localized resistive states in a Josephson junction ladder. These complex breather states are obtained by tuning the breather frequency into the upper band of linear electromagnetic oscillations of the ladder. Their prominent feature is the appearance of resonant steps in the current–voltage (I –V) characteristics. We have found the res...

Josephson Current For a Graphene Nanoribbon Using a Lattice Model

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...
