Current-voltage characteristics of quasi-one-dimensional superconductors: An S-curve in the constant voltage regime
Abstract
Applying a constant voltage to superconducting nanowires we find that its IV-characteristic exhibits an unusual S-behavior. This behavior is the direct consequence of the dynamics of the superconducting condensate and of the existence of two different critical currents: jc2 at which the pure superconducting state becomes unstable and jc1<jc2 at which the phase slip state is realized in the system.
