V. Polushkin et al., CURRENT PHASE RELATION OF Y1BA2CU3O7-DELTA STEP-EDGE JUNCTION, IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity, 5(2), 1995, pp. 2790-2793
The small signal rf impedance of Y1Ba2Cu3O7-delta step edge junction r
f SQUIDs operating in a strongly nonhysteretic mode has been measured.
The phase dependent inductance L(J)(phi) and the current phase relati
on I-p(phi) of step-edge junctions embedded in SQUIDs are calculated f
rom measurement data following the Vincent-Deaver approach. Two of thr
ee junctions investigated revealed a sinusoidal current phase relation
. I-p(phi) of the third junction seemed to be non-sinusoidal and hyste
retic. A model explaining the origin of the non-sinusoidality of I-p(p
hi) is proposed.
