Nonlinear Properties of Josephson Junctions

  • Conference paper
Superconducting Electronics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 59))

Abstract

The basic equations for the Josephson junction are derived in a simple way. We discuss the properties of such junctions under various circumstances — including the effects of damping and capacitance — according to the shunted junction model. Also, the effects of an external rf bias current are discussed; this leads to a definition of the various characterizing frequencies and to the appearence of many new phenomena. rf-applications such as SIS mixers and parametric amplifiers will be mentioned. The introduction of spatial dimensions leads to problems concerning cavity excitations and solitons. Finally, conditions for the appearence of chaos in Josephson junctions will be discussed.
