Nonlocality in mesoscopic Josephson junctions with strip geometry
Urs Ledermann, Alban L. Fauchere, Gianni Blatter
Abstract
We study the current in a clean superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor junction of length d and width w in the presence of an applied magnetic field H. We show that both the geometrical pattern of the current density and the critical current as a function of the total flux in the junction, depend on the ratio of the Josephson vortex distance a0 and the range r of the nonlocal electrodynamics. In particular, the critical current has the periodicity of the superconducting flux quantum only for r<a0 and acquires, due to boundary effects, the double (pseudo-) periodicity for strong nonlocality, r>a0. Comparing our results to recent experiments of Heida et al. [Phys. Rev. B 57, R5618 (1998)] we find good agreement.
