Josephson effect in superconductor-normal dot-superconductor junctions driven out of equilibrium by quasiparticle injection
arXiv:2201.04602 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.105.134515
Abstract
We study theoretically the large variations of the supercurrent through a normal dot that are induced by a small quasiparticle injection current from normal leads connected to the dot. We find that the supercurrent decomposes into a subgap contribution, which depends on the voltages applied to the normal leads, as well as a contribution with opposite sign from energies outside the gap, which is insensitive to the voltages. As the voltages gradually suppress the subgap contribution, a critical voltage exists above which the contribution from energies outside the gap dominates, leading to a sign reversal of the current-phase relation, namely a transition to a so-called -junction behavior. We determine the critical voltage and analyze the robustness of the effect with respect to temperature and inelastic relaxation in the dot.
