Using a stripline resonator technique, we measured the dependence on microwave current of the impedance of fabricated superconductor/normal-metal/superconductor Josephson junctions in YBa2Cu3O7 thin films. The results are compared with predictions of a resistively shunted junction model that yields good agreement at low and intermediate values of the microwave current. At high currents deviations from the model predictions are observed, which we propose are due to flux penetration into the junction. The results are consistent with previously proposed explanations of the rf power dependence of the high-Tc materials.
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.
