V. Lacquaniti et al., MAGNETIC-FIELD DEPENDENCE OF THE CRITICAL-CURRENT OF SINGLE AND STACKED JOSEPHSON-JUNCTIONS WITH LARGE IDLE REGIONS, Nuovo cimento della Societa italiana di fisica. D, Condensed matter,atomic, molecular and chemical physics, biophysics, 19(8-9), 1997, pp. 1381-1387
We have investigated the effect of a combined lateral and longitudinal
idle region on the magnetic field dependence of the critical current
of both single and vertically stacked Josephson junctions. An excellen
t agreement has been found with numerical calculations made using a si
mple model of junction with idle region. The magnetic field response o
f the single junction after a proper trimming of the idle region has a
lso been analyzed.
