磁场对“小”约瑟夫森结中MQT逃逸时间的影响

The effect of Magnetic Field on MQT Escape Time in "Small" Josephson Junctions

Yu. N. Ovchinnikov, A. Barone, A. A. Varlamov

摘要:

研究了外加磁场作用下有限尺寸约瑟夫森结中的宏观量子隧穿现象。众所周知,类点JJ中的MQT问题可归结为研究搓衣板势中量子粒子的势垒下运动。在有限大小的JJ放置在磁场中的情况下,这个问题要复杂得多,因为除了相位之外,电势本身取决于空间变量。我们找到了热激活和宏观量子隧穿机制之间的交叉温度$T_{0}$和逃逸时间$τ_{\mathrm{esc}}$的一般表达式。事实证明,在接近特定值的磁场的交叉温度可以非单调地变化。

英文摘要:

We study the phenomenon of macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) in a finite size Josephson junction (JJ) with an externally applied magnetic field. As it is well known, the problem of MQT in a point-like JJ is reduced to the study of the under-barrier motion of a quantum particle in the washboard potential. In the case of a finite size JJ placed in magnetic field, this problem is considerably more complex since, besides the phase, the potential itself, depends on space variables. We find the general expressions both for the crossover temperature $T_{0}$ between thermally activated and macroscopic quantum tunneling regimes and the escape time $τ_{\mathrm{esc}}$. It turns out that in proximity of particular values of magnetic field the crossover temperature can vary non-monotonically.
