Abstract
Within the well-established quantum picture of a Josephson junction, i t has been shown that the possibility of a resonant macroscopic quantu m tunnelling can produce sharp voltage peaks in the current-voltage ch aracteristics. We investigate the effects of the junction parameters a nd bias conditions on the step amplitude, in view of an experimental c heck of the proposed phenomenon.
