Effect of Magnetic Impurity Correlations on Josephson Tunneling
A. Bill, S. A. Wolf, Yu. N. Ovchinnikov, V. Z. Kresin
Abstract
The ordering trend of magnetic impurities at low temperature results in the frustration of the pair-breaking effect and induces a ``recovery'' of superconducting properties. We show that this effect manifests itself in the deviation of the Josephson current amplitude from the values obtained within the Ambegaokar-Baratoff and the Abrikosov-Gor'kov models. We consider both weak and strong-coupling cases. The theory is applied to describe the experimental data obtained for the low-Tc superconductor SmRh4B4. We further predict a ``recovery'' effect of the Josephson current in high-temperature superconductors.
