The equilibrium current states in superconducting junctions of the superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) type were studied for arbitrary transparency of the dielectric layer and in the presence of nonmagnetic impurities of arbitrary concentration. As the study was carried out at temperatures close to critical, the Ginzburg–Landau theory was applied. The calculations were performed taking into account depairing effects, the presence of which in the system is reflected by the superfluid velocity term in the Ginzburg–Landau equation. In addition to the numerical results presented in the work, a new analytical equation for the dependence of the current on the phase difference was obtained for arbitrary electron transmittance and different values of the electron mean free path. It was shown that the analytical results are in good agreement with the numerical calculations.
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.
