Mesoscopic Josephson effect in graphene disk at magnetic field
Abstract
Unlike for tunneling Josephson junctions, for which the current-phase relation is given by the sine function, with the critical current () and normal-state resistance () following the relation (where is the superconducting gap and electron charge is ), mesoscopic Josephson junctions show more complex current-phase relations, with the skewness , what is related to the presence -- in case the leads are in the normal state -- of transmission probabilities taking the values comparable to . Here, we show that these features also appear for a superconductor-graphene-superconductor (S-g-S) junction in the disk-shaped (Corbino) geometry, when the magnetic field is adjusted such that and . In such a case, the product , and the skewness . The results obtained from quantum-mechanical mode-matching analysis for the Dirac-Bogoliubov-De-Gennes equation are compared with simpler model assuming incoherent scattering between two circular interfaces separating the sample and the leads.
