Etude de nanojonctions Josephson à haute température critique en vue d'applications térahertz
Abstract : We developed a novel way to design high temperature Josephson junctions using oxygen ion implantation of a high temperature superconductor. These junctions were electrically characterized and theoretically studied using a quasi classical model based on the Usadel equation. Following the development of a measurement set-up in the 4 to 8 GHz frequency range, the microwave mixing properties of these junctions were studied. Results showed a high amplitude non linear term not explained by the common RSJ model (resistively shunted junction). A phenomenological model was developed, based on a non linearity arising from a varying normal resistance, and was successfully compared to experiments. The previous model paves the way for future improvements in the design of these junctions as microwave mixers and detectors.
