Josephson Currents in Quantum Hall Devices

Abstract

We consider a simple model for an SNS Josephson junction in which the "normal metal" is a section of a filling-factor $\nu =2$ integer quantum-Hall edge. We provide analytic expressions for the current/phase relations to all orders in the coupling between the superconductor and the quantum Hall edge modes, and for all temperatures. Our conclusions are consistent with the earlier perturbative study by Ma and Zyuzin [Europhysics Letters {\bf 21} 941-945 (1993)]: The Josephson current is independent of the distance between the superconducting leads, and the upper bound on the maximum Josephson current is inversely proportional to the perimeter of the Hall device.
