Investigation of Microwave-Induced dc Voltages across Unbiased Josephson Tunnel Junctions

J. T. Chen, R. J. Todd, Y.W. Kim

We have studied the power dependence of the microwave-induced dc voltages across "unbiased" Pb---Pb oxide---Pb Josephson tunnel junctions and found a systematic dependence. We have also found that the Josephson effect in the form of induced quantum voltages was observable in a large dc magnetic field as high as 0.5 kG, about one-half of the ${H}_{c2}$ of the superconducting Pb film.

Microwave properties of superconducting tunnel structures based on refractory materials

V. Gubankov, K. Y. Constantinian, V. P. Koshelets +2 more

The electrophysics and microwave properties of Niobium oxide-barrier tunnel junctions with critical current densities up to 105A/cm2were studied. Millimeter wave mixing using strong nonlinearity of quasi-particle tunnelling curve is described. Nonhysteretic Josephson junctions obtained by the low inductance resistive shunting of the tunnel structures were investigated in the large frequency band. The frequency range where these junctions obey the resistively shunted junction model was determined. The shunted tunnel junctions have been shown to be suitable for various applications which require stable enough Josephson junctions with nonhysteretic I-V curve (IVC).

Microwave mixing and direct detection using SIS and SIS' quasiparticle tunnel junctions

A. D. Smith, William R. McGrath, P. L. Richards +4 more

Quasiparticle mixers have shown strong quantum effects, conversion gain, and noise levels approaching the quantum limit, but only in tunnel junctions with very low sub-gap 'leakage' conductance. It has been suggested that SIS' tunnel junctions, made from two different coductors with unequal gaps, will function as high gain mixers since the dynamic conductance below the gap is nagative.

Observations on small tunnel junctions: Anomalous critical-current temperature dependence, periodic structure, and microwave detection

James T. C. Yeh, D. N. Langenberg

Observations on very small Pb-Pb oxide-Pb tunnel junctions prepared by a new method are reported. The zero-voltage Josephson critical current is found to increase, then decrease with decreasing temperature. The current-voltage characteristics show very prominent periodic structure. The junctions have microwave (X-band) power sensitivities of 10-14W, more than two orders of magnitude better than conventional-size junctions.
