Dual relaxation oscillations in a Josephson junction array

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2024-08-16 v1 Superconductivity

Abstract

We report relaxation oscillations in a one-dimensional array of Josephson junctions. The oscillations are circuit-dual to those ordinarily observed in single junctions. The dual circuit quantitatively accounts for temporal dynamics of the array, including the dependence on biasing conditions. Injection locking the oscillations results in well-developed current plateaux. A thermal model explains the relaxation step of the oscillations.
