Terahertz Responses of Intrinsic Josephson Junctions in High T{sub C} Superconductors

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

High frequency responses of intrinsic Josephson junctions up to 2.5THz, including the observation of Shapiro steps under various conditions, are reported and discussed in this Letter. The sample was an array of intrinsic Josephson junctions singled out from inside a high T{sub C} superconducting Bi{sub 2}Sr {sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8+x} single crystal, with a bow-tie antenna integrated to it. The number of junctions in the array was controllable, the junctions were homogeneous, the distribution of applied irradiation among the junctions was even, and the junctions could synchronously respond to high frequency irradiation.
