Lifetime of the zero-voltage state in Josephson tunnel junctions
Abstract
We describe an experimental investigation of fluctuations in the measured value of the critical current in Josephson tunnel junctions. The lifetime $\ensuremath{\tau}$ of the zero-voltage state against spontaneous transitions to a nonzero-voltage state is derived from these measurements. The range of $\ensuremath{\tau}$ covered by these measurements runs from ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ to ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}7}$ sec, with $\ensuremath{\tau}$ decreasing approximately exponentially with increasing current bias. Both thermal-noise-limited and extrinsic-noise-limited situations have been observed. In associated experiments the maximum critical current of these Sn-Sn-oxide-Sn juntions is found to be reduced from the value predicted by weak-coupling theory by a factor of $\ensuremath{\approx}0.92$, presumably by strong-coupling effects.

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.
