Abstract-New theoretical and experimental results on double-barrier SIS'IS Josephson junctions are presented (1 is a tunnel barrier, S' is a thin film with critical temperature lower than that of S). The previously developed microscopic model for the stationary case, which describes the critical currents in Nb/AI/Nb junctions, is extended to the non-equilibrium regime of finite voltage. In particular, an intrinsic shunting resistance is estimated from I-V curves. We formulate the requirements for interface barriers in order to realize non-hysteretic SIS'IS junctions with high critical current density and I e R~ products. A comparison with single-barrier SIS junctions with high critical current density i s carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
