Numerical studies of the superfluid Shapiro effect

چکیده
Although simple theoretical descriptions of the Shapiro effect focus on a voltage biased superconducting Josephson junction, experimental measurements are predominantly made using current biased systems. In an analogous superfluid He system, a Josephson weak link can be predominantly pressure biased in accordance with the simple theory. Here, we use numerical methods to reproduce new features found in the observed ‘‘superfluid Shapiro effect’’. We find the proper characteristics for a pressure biased system with new additional structure resulting from a non-zero source resistance. r 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Observation of the superfluid shapiro effect in a 3He weak link.
We have studied the mass currents through a superfluid 3He Josephson weak link in the presence of an externally applied ac pressure modulation. Characteristic changes in the dc mass currents are observed whenever the superfluid Josephson frequency omega(J) is an integer multiple of the ac modulation frequency omega. The measured dependencies of these current changes on ac pressure amplitude are...
متن کاملVISCOSITY COEFFICIENTS OF THE A-PHASE OF SUPERFLUID He AT LOW TEMPERATURES
It has been shown that the Boltzmann equation for the viscosity of the A-phase of superfluid 3He at low temperatures has the same form as for a normal Ferrni liquid. The viscosity coefficients A, B, C, D and E are derived exactly. The h , parameter plays an important role in determining the temperature dependence of the viscosity coefficients
متن کاملNumerical simulations of the operation of a superfluid gyrometer
We have performed detailed numerical simulations of the operation of a double-hole hydromechanical resonator operated in superfluid 4He. These simulations make use of measured parameters and can be compared in a realistic way to the actual outputs of the device. Most of the experimental observations are reproduced in minute detail and, in particular, the occurrence of staircase patterns. The si...
متن کاملAxial quasi-normal modes of neutron stars: Accounting for the superfluid in the crust
We present the results of the first study of global oscillations of relativistic stars with both elastic crusts and interpenetrating superfluid components. For simplicity, we focus on the axial quasi-normal modes. Our results demonstrate that the torsional crust modes are essentially unaffected by the coupling to the gravitational field. This is as expected since these oscillations are known to...
