In the process of theoretical fitting the switching current distributions of Josephson junction,macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) and thermally activated process are usually considered.Analysis of the results for a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ surface intrinsic Josephson junction (SIJJ), quantum corrections are considered at the intermediate areas between MQT and thermally activated process. It is found that quantum corrections lead to a perfect fit to the experimental data, which may be useful for the future studies of MQT in SIJJs and their possible applications as a superconducting qubit.
The proposed BB-cine imaging technique can suppress the flow artifacts effectively and reduce the partial volume effects from the vessel wall. This might allow more accurate lumen dynamics measurements than traditional BrB-cine imaging, which may further be valuable for investigating biomechanical and functional properties of the cardiovascular system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
