Phonon Generation and Detection by Single-Particle Tunneling in Superconductors

  • Chapter
Tunneling Phenomena in Solids

Abstract

In single-particle tunneling between superconductors energy from the voltage source is supplied to the tunneling junction in the form of quasiparticle excitations within the superconductors adjoining the tunneling barrier (1,2).

Work underlying this chapter has been performed at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Murray Hill, N.J. in 1966 and 1967, on leave from the University of Göttingen.
