Simulating current voltage characteristics in Intrinsic Josephson junctions M. Hromnik Yu. M. Shukrinov M Gaafar BLTP, JINR, Dubna , Russia
X:50mV/div Y:100mA/div Layered Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy(Bi2212) single crystals represent natural stacks of atomic scale intrinsic Josephson junctions. I-V characteristics – Multi-branch structure – large hysteresis – Roughly equal spacing
Applications of Josephson Junctions • Defines a Voltage standard - metrology • Quantum computing – single electron transistors • SQUIDS – superconducting quantum interface devices able to measure magnetic fields down to 10^-18 T • STJs – Superconducting tunnel junction detectors which make use of quantum electron tunneling through the JJ – high speed electrical circuits
Numerical Procedure4th order Runge Kutta method • Heavy duty computation – O(10^9) time steps • Intelligent data logging – on the fly averaging ensures a manageable and meaningful output • Intelligent disk IO – buffering (significant effect of performance) • Looping technique to match experimental method • Parallel computing options limited
