Layered superconductors such as the copper-oxide high-temperature superconductor
Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+ δ are emerging as compact sources of coherent continuous-wave …

The Josephson effect is a phenomenon of current flow across two weakly linked
superconductors separated by a thin barrier, ie a Josephson junction, associated with …

Mesa structures made of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+ δ high-temperature superconductor represent
stacks of atomic scale intrinsic Josephson junctions. They can be used for generation of high …

Intrinsic Josephson-junction stacks realized in mesas fabricated out of high-temperature
superconductors may be used as sources of coherent electromagnetic radiation in the …

Low power efficiency is one of the main problems of terahertz (THz) sources, colloquially
known as “the THz gap.” In this work we present prototypes of THz devices based on …

We have studied experimentally and numerically temperature profiles and the formation of
hot spots in intrinsic Josephson junction stacks in Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 (BSCCO). The …

I propose a new mechanism of intense high-frequency electromagnetic wave generation by
spatially uniform stacked Josephson junctions at zero magnetic field. The ac-Josephson …

Stacks of intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) made from high-temperature superconductors
such as Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ δ (Bi-2212)(BSCCO) are a promising source of coherent …

Impedance matching and heat management are important factors influencing the
performance of terahertz sources. In this work we analyze thermal and radiative properties of …

We study the influence of dissipation on the switching current statistics of moderately
damped Josephson junctions. Different types of both low-and high-T c junctions with …
