Enhanced Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling in BiSrCaCuO Intrinsic Josephson Junction Stacks
X. Y. Jin, J. Lisenfeld, Y. Koval +3
We have investigated macroscopic quantum tunneling in BiSrCaCuO intrinsic Josephson junctions at millikelvin temperatures using microwave irradiation. Measureme…
Nonlocal electrodynamics of long ultra-narrow Josephson junctions: Experiment and theory
A. A. Abdumalikov, V. V. Kurin, C. Helm +3
We experimentally and theoretically investigate electromagnetic cavity modes in ultra-narrow Al-AlO-Al and Nb-AlO-Nb long Josephson junctions. Experiments show that the vol…
Enhancement of Josephson phase diffusion by microwaves
Y. Koval, M. V. Fistul, A. V. Ustinov
We report an experimental and theoretical study of the phase diffusion in small Josephson junctions under microwave irradiation. A peculiar enhancement of the phase diffusion by mi…
Quantum dissociation of a vortex-antivortex pair in a long Josephson junction
M. V. Fistul, A. Wallraff, Y. Koval +3
We report a theoretical analysis and experimental observation of the quantum dynamics of a single vortex-antivortex (VAV) pair confined in a long narrow annular Josephson junction.…
Electronic compressibility and charge imbalance relaxation in cuprate superconductors
Ch. Helm, L. N. Bulaevskii, D. A. Ryndyk +5
In the material SmLaSrCuO with alternating intrinsic Josephson junctions we explain theoretically the relative amplitude of the two plasma peaks in transmission…
