Abstract

The current-voltage characteristic (CVC) of a break junction made from polycrystalline Bi1.8Pb0.3Sr1.9Ca2Cu3Ox is investigated. The experimental CVC has a hysteretic feature that reflects part of the curve with a negative differential resistance. The CVC is discussed within the framework of the Kümmel-Gunsenheimer-Nicolsky theory that takes into account multiple Andreev reflections in superconductor/normalmetal/superconductor junctions.
