The effect of fluctuations on a single-contact interferometer: Quantum considerations

I. N. Askerzade

The effect of quantum fluctuations on a single-contact interferometer is considered. An expression for the “fluctuational” inductance, above which the superconducting current is effectively suppressed by quantum fluctuations, is obtained.

Analysis of threshold curves for superconducting interferometers

Rick Peterson, C.A. Hamilton

Threshold curves for multijunction superconducting interferometers have been calculated previously, showing general agreement with observed features, especially in symmetric cases. We here add some more details to the analysis, paying particular attention to the effects of asymmetries in coupling, inductance, or critical currents. Feed-loop inductance and flux quantization in the feed loop can be important. A changing lobe pattern over many periods, asymmetries within a period, shifting patterns between runs spanning a warm-up, and sudden changes in pattern because of noise in the environment are all quantitatively explainable on the basis of this model. By use of a single ’’calibration curve’’, the inductance for symmetric two- or three-junction interferometers can be obtained immediately.

Effects of the Design Parameters on Characteristics of the Inductances and JJs in HTS RSFQ Circuits

Tahereh Jabbari, Faezeh Shanehsazzadeh, Hesam Zandi +3 more

We have investigated various geometrical design dependencies for rapid single-flux-quantum (RSFQ) circuits in high-Tcsuperconductors (HTS) technology, including the characteristics of the intermediate inductances. Structural- and temporal-dependent combinations of Cn-Rn(capacitance and normal resistance of the Josephson junctions, JJs) in the HTS technology are also investigated. Relatively favorable combinations of normal resistance and low capacitance of the JJs needed in the HTS technology for RSFQ circuits have been made possible by recent fabrication methods of high-quality YBCO films. Obtaining these devices is made achievable by using the grain boundary structures and high critical current density (JC) of the HTS JJs. Mutual interactions of the intermediate inductances with other parts of the whole circuit are examined and optimized for the best operation situation. Here in particular, the operation of the HTS Josephson transmission-line (JTL) cells utilizing the grain boundary Josephson junctions, including various structural inductances, is studied based on the reported parameters of the developed devices and thoroughly analyzed by simulation results.
