Exciting Andreev pairs in a superconducting atomic contact
L. Bretheau, Ç. Ö. Girit, Hugues Pothier +2
The Josephson effect describes the flow of supercurrent in a weak link, such as a tunnel junction, nanowire, or molecule, between two superconductors. It is the basis for a variety…
Evidence for long-lived quasiparticles trapped in superconducting point contacts
M. Zgirski, L. Bretheau, Q. Le Masne +3
We have observed that the supercurrent across phase-biased, highly transmitting atomic size contacts is strongly reduced within a broad phase interval around π. We attribute this e…
Electron heating in metallic resistors at sub-Kelvin temperature
B. Huard, H. Pothier, D. Esteve +1
In the presence of Joule heating, the electronic temperature in a metallic resistor placed at sub-Kelvin temperatures can significantly exceed the phonon temperature. Electron cool…
Superconducting atomic contacts under microwave irradiation
M. Chauvin, P. Vom Stein, H. Pothier +4
We have measured the effect of microwave irradiation on the dc current-voltage characteristics of superconducting atomic contacts. The interaction of the external field with the ac…
Effect of Magnetic Impurities on Energy Exchange between Electrons
B. Huard, A. Anthore, Norman O. Birge +2
In order to probe quantitatively the effect of Kondo impurities on energy exchange between electrons in metals, we have compared measurements on two silver wires with dilute magnet…
Intensity of Coulomb Interaction between quasiparticles in diffusive metallic wires
B. Huard, A. Anthore, F. Pierre +3
The energy dependence and intensity of Coulomb interaction between quasiparticles in metallic wires is obtained from two different methods: determination of the temperature depende…
