Effect of ac Impedance on dc Voltage-Current Characteristics of Superconductor Weak-Link Junctions

McCumber, D. E.·1968·Journal of Applied Physics

Abstract

Because the Josephson pair current in a weak-link superconductor junction is a nonlinear parametric function of junction voltage, the ac impedance seen by the junction influences both the response time to changes in bias and the dc voltage-current characteristics. The first effect is obvious; the second, considered here, has not been generally recognized. Both are relevant to device design. Two special cases which illustrate the basic principles involved are worked out in detail; they correspond, respectively, to ac capacitive and inductive loading. The results partly explain differences in the dc voltage-current characteristics of plane-parallel and point-contact junctions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
