Resistance of superconductor-normal metal-superconductor junctions

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the conductance of a superconductor-normal metal-superconductor junction can exhibit a significant dependence on the phase of the superconducting order parameter in the situation when the size of the normal region of the junction is much larger than the normal metal coherence length and the critical current of the junction is already exponentially small. The period of the conductance oscillations as a function of the phase can be equal to π\pi or 2π2\pi depending on parameters of the system.
