β¦ Synopsis
The influence of a periodic modulation of the maximum Josephson current on the current-voltage characteristic of the Josephson device is studied in a simulation experiment. It is shown that the pair current locks to the frequency of its modulation, which leads to the appearance of constant voltage steps in the I-V characteristic. The special case of square-wave modulation is treated also. A comparison between pair-current modulation and alternating current application is given.

Measurements of the modulation of current steps induced by radio-frequency (rf) radiation in constrictions in bulk YBaCuO samples agree with calculations based on the resistively-shunted junction model for single Josephson junctions. At temperatures near the critical temperature a particularly simpl
We study the normal state conductance and the Josephson current in a superconductor-2DEG-superconductor structure where the size/shape of the 2DEG-region can be modified by an additional side-gate electrode. The considered transport properties follow from the retarded Green function which we compute
