Quasiparticle and Cooper pair tenneling in small capacitance Josephson junctions

Effects of the electromagnetic environment

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The tunneling of single electrons in small capacitance tunnel junctions is influenced by charging effects and by the fluctuations of the elecromagnetic environment. We study the effect of an external circuit with arbitrary impedance on the tunneling of quasiparticles and Cooper pairs in voltage driven Josephson junctions. We present results at finite temperatures and also consider an acdriven system.
