Model of a long Josephson tunnel junction including surface losses and self-pumping effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have numerically investigated the dynamics of a long linear Josephson tunnel junction with overlap geometry (Flux-Flow Oscillator, FFO). The study is performed in the frame of a modified sine-Gordon model, which includes surface losses, self-pumping effect, and in an empirical way the superconducting gap. The electromagnetic coupling to the environment is modeled by a simple resistor-capacitor load (RC-load) placed at both ends of the FFO. In our model the damping parameter depends both on the spatial coordinate and on the amplitude of the AC voltage. In order to find the DC current-voltage curves the damping parameter has to be calculated self-consistently by successive approximations and time integration of the perturbed sine-Gordon equation. The modified model gives better qualitative agreement with experimental results than the conventional perturbed sine-Gordon model.

Giant Josephson current through a single bound state in a superconducting tunnel junction.
We study the microscopic structure of the Josephson current in a single-mode tunnel junction with a wide quasiclassical tunnel barrier. In such a junction each Andreev bound state carries a current of magnitude proportional to the amplitude of the normal electron transmission through the junction. Tremendous enhancement of the bound state current is caused by the resonance coupling of supercond...

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...

We have measured the ac Josephson effect in small-area superconducting tunnel junctions at 604 GHz (A = 496pm) using a resonant planar dipole antenna to couple the radiation into the junction. In a 176-fl junction, we have observed up to the 7th Josephson step (at 8.75 m V), a performance comparable to that seen in point contacts. We also compare our data with the results of the RSJ model and o...
