Current-phase relation of double-barrier Josephson junctions with a two-gap superconductor as intermediate electrode
نویسنده
چکیده
The current-phase (I-φ) relation of a double-barrier Josephson junction with a two-gap superconductor as intermediate electrode is derived by means of a simplified version of Ohta’s model. As in conventional double-barrier Josephson junctions, a marked skewness in the I-φ curves is present. Moreover, as in heterotic Josephson devices, a reduction of the maximum Josephson current is predicted. An appropriate experiment to verify the rich behavior of this type of Josephson device is suggested.

Theory of the Josephson effect in unconventional superconducting junctions with diffusive barriers
We study theoretically the Josephson effect in junctions based on unconventional superconductors with diffusive barriers, using the quasiclassical Green’s function formalism. Generalized boundary conditions at junction interfaces applicable to unconventional superconductors are derived by calculating a matrix current within the circuit transport theory. Applying these boundary conditions, we ha...
متن کاملp – 0 Transition in Superconductor - Ferromagnet - Superconductor Junctions 1
Superconductor–ferromagnet–superconductor (SFS) Josephson junctions are known to exhibit a transition between π and 0 states. In this letter, we find the π–0 phase diagram of an SFS junction depending on the transparency of an intermediate insulating layer (I). We show that, in general, the Josephson critical current is nonzero at the π–0 transition temperature. Contributions to the current fro...

In this paper, a dc Josephson junction between two singlet superconductors (d-wave and s-wave) with arbitrary reflection coefficient has been investigated theoretically. For the case of high Tc superconductors, the c-axes are parallel to an interface with finite transparency and their ab-planes have a mis-orientation. The physics of potential barrier will be demonstrated by a transparency coeff...

متن کاملJosephson current in ballistic superconductor-graphene systems
We calculate the phase, the temperature and the junction length dependence of the supercurrent for ballistic graphene Josephson junctions. For low temperatures we find nonsinusoidal dependence of the supercurrent on the superconductor phase difference for both short and long junctions. The skewness, which characterizes the deviaton of the current-phase relation from a simple sinusoidal one, sho...
