We experimentally study electron transport between two superconducting indium leads, coupled to a single WTe$_2$ crystal, which is a three-dimensional Weyl semimetal. We demonstrate Josephson current in long 5~$\mu$m In-WTe$_2$-In…
The effect of electromagnetic wave irradiation on the phase dynamics of intrinsic Josephson junctions in high temperature superconductors is investigated. We predict three novel effects by variation of the radiation amplitude and frequency:…
We study the influence of classical phase diffusion on the fractional Shapiro steps in resistively shunted superconducting quantum point contacts. The problem is mapped onto a Smoluchowski equation with a time dependent potential. A…
A Josephson diode is a non-reciprocal circuit element that supports a larger dissipationless supercurrent in one direction than in the other. In this work, we propose and theoretically study a class of Josephson diodes based on supercurrent…
Mesoscopic superconducting-normal-metal-superconducting (S-N-S) junctions with a large separation between the superconducting electrodes (i.e. wide junctions) exhibit nonequilibrium supercurrents, even at temperatures for which the…
The phase dynamics of Josephson junctions under external electromagnetic radiation is studied through numerical simulations. Current-voltage characteristics, Lyapunov exponents and Poincare sections are analyzed in detail. It is found that…
We study diffusive magnetic Josephson junctions with four superconducting terminals in the weak proximity limit where the leads are arranged in cross form. Employing the linearized Keldysh-Usadel technique, the anomalous Green's function…
We report on the realization of a planar, quasi-ballistic Josephson junction array using a Au micron-sized single-crystal. The system exhibits a nonlocal, multiterminal Josephson effect, where the supercurrent between any two…
We investigate transport properties of junctions between two spin-split superconductors linked by a spin-polarized tunneling barrier. The spin-splitting fields in the superconductors (S) are induced by adjacent ferromagnetic insulating (FI)…
Efficient, scalable, and magnetic-field-free superconducting diodes are essential for future superconducting electronics; yet, despite significant efforts, such practical devices remain unrealized. The main challenge lies in achieving…
A single Josephson junction in the phase-slip regime exhibits Bloch oscillations in the voltage when biased with a DC current $I_\text{DC}$. The frequency of the oscillation is given by $\pi I_\text{DC}/e$, with $e$ the elementary charge,…
We have integrated on oxidized silicon wafers superconductive films and Josephson junctions along with sol-gel optical channel waveguides. The fabrication process is carried out in two steps that result to be solid and non-invasive. It is…
For certain orientations of Josephson junctions between two p_x-wave or two d-wave superconductors, the subgap Andreev bound states produce a 4pi-periodic relation between the Josephson current I and the phase difference phi: I ~…
We demonstrate that the well known phase-locking mechanism leading to Shapiro steps in ac-driven Josephson junctions is always accompanied by a higher order phase-locking mechanism similar to that of the parametrically driven pendulum. This…
Cd3As2 is a three-dimensional topological Dirac semimetal with connected Fermi-arc surface states. It has been suggested that topological superconductivity can be achieved in the nontrivial surface states of topological materials by…
Multicontact configuration is one of the most powerful arrangements for electrical transport measurements applied to study vortex phase transition and vortex phase dimensionality in strongly anisotropic high-Tc superconducting materials. In…
We present an accurate way to detect spin dynamics of a nutating molecular nanomagnet by inserting it in a tunnel Josephson junction and studying the current voltage (I-V) characteristic. The spin nutation of the molecular nanomagnet is…
Light-matter interaction enables engineering of non-equilibrium quantum systems. In condensed matter, spatially and temporally cyclic Hamiltonians are expected to generate energy-periodic Floquet states, with properties inaccessible at…
Tunnelling between non-centrosymmetric superconductors with significant spin-orbit splitting is studied theoretically in a two-band treatment of the problem. We find that the critical Josephson current may be modulated by changing the…
We investigate, by experiments and numerical simulations, thermal activation processes of Josephson tunnel junctions in the presence of microwave radiation. When the applied signal resonates with the Josephson plasma frequency oscillations,…
