Tunneling Between Superconductors

Ambegaokar, Vinay, Baratoff, Alexis·1963·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Josephson's calculations showed that for two superconductors separated by an oxide there may exist an osciliating supercurrent of frequency 2e V/h (V is applied voltage) and a possible d-c supercurrent at zero voltage. The calculations are reproduced by the method of the thermodynamic Green's function that allows generalization to superconductors with strong electron-phonon coupling. A simple prediction for the temperature dependence of the d-c supercurrent is shown to follow from the theory. (D.C.W.)

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.
