Influence of the current-phase relationship on the I-V characteristic of superconducting weak links

F. Auracher, T. Van Duzer

Abstract

I-V characteristics with and without hysteresis are calculated for various current-phase relations. We show that the shape of the current-phase relation has a significant influence on the shape of the I-V characteristic and the amount of hysteresis in it.

Direct measurements of current-phase relations for several types of superconducting weak links. Technical report

L. D. Jackel, John M. Warlaumont, Jessica Brown +2 more

While recent theoretical and experimental evidence have indicated that many commonly used superconducting weak links might have distinctly nonsinusoiual current-phase relations, precise measurement of these relations has been difficult to realize. Now a high resolution technique has been developed for the measurement of current-phase relations of weak links. This technique was used to determine the current-phase relations of various weak link structures including point contacts, thin film microbridges and proximity effect bridges. (GRA)

Influence of Microwave Radiation on Current-Voltage Characteristic of Superconducting Weak Links

The current-voltage characteristics of microwave-irradiated superconducting weak links have been calculated on the analog computer. Experimental results of several authors can be interpreted correctly by taking into consideration the resistive feedback.

Interferometric Measurement of the Current-Phase Relationship of a Superfluid Weak Link

Superfluid Bose-Einstein condensates have been shaped into circuits that resemble practical superconducting circuits. A new technique measures the current in these circuits and characterizes one of its basic components, called a ``weak link.''

Numerical Study of $I$–$V$ Characteristics of Externally Shunted Josephson Junctions With Unharmonic Current-Phase Relation

Mehmet Cantürk, I. N. Askerzade

In this paper, the influence of unharmonic current-phase relation (CPR) in an externally shunted Josephson circuit model with nonzero inductance and resistance has been studied. The inclusion of second harmonic also leads to an increase in the hysteresis ofI-Vcharacteristics. The simulation results highlight the influence of unharmonic CPR in the realization of the Josephson junction circuits.

Influence of the current-phase relation on the critical-current-applied-magnetic-flux dependence in parallel-connected Josephson junctions

Won−Tien Tsang, T. Van Duzer

The form of the current-phase relations for the Josephson junctions is shown to have a significant influence on the relation Ic(ϑa) between critical current and applied flux for two junctions connected in parallel in a superconducting circuit. The observed one-flux-quantum periodicity and inversion symmetry of the Ic(ϑa) relation are shown to result from the fact that the current-phase, i-φ, relations of the junctions satisfy i (φ+2mπ) =i (φ) and i (−φ) =−i (φ), respectively. It is also shown that if the current-phase relations for the two junctions are different, an asymmetry appears in the Ic(ϑa).

Temperature dependence measurements of the supercurrent-phase relationship in niobium nanobridges

A.G.P. Troeman, S. H. W. van der Ploeg, Evgeni V. Il’ichev +4 more

The current-phase relationship has been measured as a function of temperature for niobium nanobridges with different widths. A deformation from Josephson-like sinusoidal characteristics at high temperatures to sawtooth shaped curves at intermediate and multivalued relationships at low temperatures was observed. Based on this, possible hysteresis in the current-voltage characteristics of niobium nanobridge superconducting quantum interference devices can be attributed to phase slippage.
