Weakly Coupled Superconductors

  • Chapter
Tunneling Phenomena in Solids

Abstract

Weakly coupled superconductors exhibit the AC Josephson effect (1), and in fact this might be taken as a rough definition of a superconducting weak link, although they also have several other interesting properties. Josephson junctions are the most well understood form of weak link and their properties have been discussed in previous chapters. Here we shall discuss other forms of weak coupling and indicate their similarities as well as the properties which are peculiar to them individually.
