Stochastic dynamics of phase-slip trains and superconductive-resistive switching in current-biased nanowires
Stochastic dynamics of phase-slip trains and superconductive-resistive switching in current-biased nanowires
Superconducting nanowires fabricated via carbon-nanotube templating can be used to realize and study quasi-one-dimensional superconductors. However, measurement of the linear resistance of these nanowires have been inconclusive in determining the low-temperature behavior of phase-slip fluctuations, both quantal and thermal. Thus, we are motivated to study the nonlinear current-voltage characteristics in …
