Current-Phase Relation of Ballistic Graphene Josephson Junctions

Abstract: The current-phase relation (CPR) of a Josephson junction (JJ) determines how the supercurrent evolves with the superconducting phase difference across the junction. Knowledge of the CPR is essential in order to understand the response of a JJ to various external parameters. Despite the rising interest in ultraclean encapsulated graphene JJs, the CPR of such junctions remains unknown. Here, we use a fully gate-tunable graphene superconducting quantum intereference device (SQUID) to determine the CPR of ballisti… Show more

“…Graphene, an atomic layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice 23 , can inherit superconductivity through the proximity effect 3,6 . When encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), the superconductor-graphene-superconductor (S-G-S) junction supports a voltage-tunable, bipolar Josephson current in the ballistic regime 4,5,24 . In our experiment, the S-G-S junctions are built into a voltage-controlled transmon circuit that enables us to perform both frequency-resolved spectroscopy and coherent quantum control using cQED techniques (Fig.1a).…”

“…This mechanism results in a nonsinusoidal CPR [7,8,9,10]. Recent measurements of the CPR in the ballistic regime revealed a gate-tunable skewness, sensitive to the junction length and to the nature of the superconducting-graphene interface [13,14]. The maximal supercurrent, I c , depends on the doping and it is nonvanishing even at the Dirac point, despite of the zero carrier concentration resulting from the linear dispersion of graphene.…”

“…These represent limiting cases: in Geometry A, the width of the superconducting electrodes is much larger than the width of the 2D material; while in Geometry B, the width of the superconducting electrodes is the same as that of the 2D material. Most of the experiments in the literature adopted Geometry A [1,3,6,8,9,12,14,17,18,26,27], while a few of them are better described by Geometry B (or somewhere between Geometry A and Geometry B [2,4,10,11,13,15,16,19,20]). When the superconducting electrodes are thicker than the London penetration depth , the supercurrent tends to flow in a narrow region within ~ from the edge of the superconducting electrodes as shown.…”
