Reflectivity and microwave absorption in crystals with alternating intrinsic Josephson junctions.

چکیده
We compute the frequency and magnetic field dependencies of the reflectivity R(omega) in layered superconductors with two alternating intrinsic Josephson junctions with different critical current densities and quasiparticle conductivities for the electric field polarized along the c axis. The parameter alpha describing the electronic compressibility of the layers and the charge coupling of neighboring junctions was extracted for the SmLa1-xSr xCuO (4-delta) superconductor from two independent optical measurements, the fit of the loss function L(omega) at zero magnetic field and the magnetic field dependence of the peak positions in L(omega). The experiments are consistent with a free electron value for alpha.

Microwave absorption by the Josephson-junction network in a low field: A realistic model for ceramic high-temperature superconductors
We discuss the applied magnetic field dependence of the absorption of microwaves by a 3-dimensional array up to 30x30x30 Josephson junctions with random parameters including the resistivity, capacity and inductance of each junction. The numerical simulation results for the networks show characteristic microwave absorption anomalies observed in the ceramic samples of high temperature superconduc...
متن کاملNonlinear Microwave Switching Response of Bscco Single Crystals
Measurements of the surface impedance, Zs, in Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 1 Cu 2 O 8+ single crystal with microwave currents owing along the ^ c axis show clear evidence of a step-like nonlinearity. The surface resistance switches between apparently quantized levels for microwave eld strength changes of less than 1 mG. This non-linear response can arise from the presence of intrinsic Josephson junctions along...
متن کاملSuppression of the superconducting energy gap in intrinsic Josephson junctions of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ single crystals
We have observed back-bending structures at high bias current in the current-voltage curves of intrinsic Josephson junctions. These structures may be caused by nonequilibrium quasiparticle injection and/or Joule heating. The energy gap suppression varies considerably with temperature. Different levels of the suppression are observed when the same level of current passes through top electrodes o...

We have observed the zero-crossing steps in a surface junction of a mesa structure micro-fabricated on the surface of a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ single crystal. With the application of microwave of frequencies 76 and 94 GHz, the currentvoltage characteristics show clear voltage steps satisfying the ac Josephson relation. Increasing the microwave power, the heights of the steps show the Bessel-function b...
