Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By using niobium (Nb) superconducting material and aluminum (Al) metal, we have fabricated Nb/Al-oxide/Nb Josephson tunnel junctions. Though Nb/Al-oxide/Nb superconducting junctions a current can flow without voltage drop at liquid helium temperature (4.2K), where the critical current value can be modulated by an external magnetic field. In the current-voltage characteristics of this superconducting junction, both the superconducting current and the resonant current steps at a finite voltage can be observed. The microwave would propagate perpendicular direction to an external magnetic field inside the junction tunnel-oxide region. The microwave frequency is proportional to the voltage value (50GHz---0.1mV). We can explain these phenomena using our new plain microwave circuit model.
