Roberto Monaco, Jesper Mygind, Valery P. Koshelets

摘要:

我们研究了平面环形约瑟夫森隧道结在外加磁场作用下的相变温度猝灭的物理过程。用Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb长环形结进行的实验表明,在形成结的高质量双连接超导电极中捕获的磁通量产生持续电流,其相关的磁场影响结的静态和动态特性。更具体地说,与直流偏置电流相结合的一个电极的孔中捕获的场引起约瑟夫森涡旋的密集列的粘性流,其通过在结的电流-电压特性中的移位线性斜坡、Fiske阶梯和Eck阶梯的顺序出现来表现自身。此外,在磁衍射图案的第一波瓣中观察到场移位。垂直于结面的外部磁场可以减轻甚至消除持续电流的影响。对于扩展的一维约瑟夫森结,与持续电流相关的径向场可以用经典的唯象sine-Gordon模型精确地模拟。进行了大量的数值模拟,以揭示基本的磁通流机制负责的外观的磁感应步骤,并阐明几何参数的作用。结果发现,场冷却的印记增强共焦环形结,这是很好地研究了圆环结的自然推广。

英文摘要:

We investigate the physics of planar annular Josephson tunnel junctions quenched through their transition temperature in the presence of an external magnetic field. Experiments carried out with long Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb annular junctions showed that the magnetic flux trapped in the high-quality doubly-connected superconducting electrodes forming the junction generates a persistent current whose associated magnetic field affects the both the static and dynamics properties of the junctions. More specifically, the field trapped in the hole of one electrode combined with a d.c. bias current induces a viscous flow of dense trains of Josephson vortices which manifests itself through the sequential appearance of displaced linear slopes, Fiske step staircases and Eck steps in the junction's current-voltage characteristic. Furthermore, a field shift is observed in the first lobe of the magnetic diffraction pattern. The effects of the persistent current can be mitigated or even canceled by an external magnetic field perpendicular to the junction plane. The radial field associated with the persistent current can be accurately modeled with the classical phenomenological sine-Gordon model for extended one-dimensional Josephson junctions. Extensive numerical simulations were carried out to disclose the basic flux-flow mechanism responsible for the appearance of the magnetically induced steps and to elucidate the role of geometrical parameters. It was found that the imprint of the field cooling is enhanced in confocal annular junctions which are the natural generalization of the well studied circular annular junctions.
