    Abstract:
    We observe and measure the inductance of long intrinsic Josephson junction arrays composed of misaligned Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 thin films grown on LaAlO3 substrates. The array consists of about 9.1×103 intrinsic Josephson junctions, where 90° phase shift between ac voltage across the array and ac current flowing through has been measured. Furthermore, the voltage is proportional to the frequency of the current. The measured inductance values of the intrinsic Josephson junction arrays are basically consistent with the theoretically calculated results, confirming that the inductance is mainly due to the Josephson effect. The dependence of the array inductance on its critical current is also discussed.

    Kinetic inductance is an important property of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in high-frequency applications. However, disagreements exist in whether the kinetic inductance of CNTs is present in the diffusive transport regime. In this paper, we fabricated the horizontally aligned multiwalled nanotube (MWNT) arrays on silicon substrates and investigated the inductance properties of the MWNT arrays with different lengths using direct current and radio frequency characterizations. The experimental results show that the electron transport in the CNT arrays is diffusive and that the value of the kinetic inductance is proportional to the length of the CNT arrays. We have experimentally validated that the kinetic inductance theory is applicable to CNTs in the diffusive transport regime. This paper could quell the existing disagreements about the kinetic inductance and provide insights to the potential applications of CNTs as interconnects and on-chip inductors.

    The characteristic behavior of the inductance and capacitance of multi junction ac Josephson effect in superconductor has been presented. Few parameters characterizing the behavior of Josephson junctions are needed to evaluate for technological applications. In this paper, the inductance and capacitance of the multi Josephson junction connected in parallel are evaluated, using simple classical argument. The numerical results for inductance and capacitance have also been included, indicating few technological applications.

    We fabricated a Josephson junction array with an additional inductive coupling line to detect the high frequency and power of Josephson self-radiation. The YBa 2 Cu 3 O y Josephson junctions are fabricated by a pulsed laser deposition method on bicrystal MgO substrates. We measured the submillimeter wave and the Josephson self-radiation power in an external waveguide system. The Josephson junction arrays showed the resistively shunted junction (RSJ)-like current–voltage characteristics and good frequency-locking of Josephson self-radiation. As the number of Josephson junctions increased, the maximum detected power was increased. We observed the maximum frequency of above 6 THz for Josephson self-radiation in the array with 11 Josephson junctions from the Shapiro steps under 22 GHz irradiation.

    Ultrasensitive technique to measure kinetic inductance has test specimen included as part of the inductance of a tank circuit of a tunnel diode oscillator. Frequency counter measures shift in frequency of oscillator, caused by changes in inductance. Frequency shift in tank circuit is proportional to change in kinetic inductance

    We have measured the transport properties of intrinsic Josephson junction arrays as a function of both temperature and magnetic field, the field being applied perpendicular to the transport current. We show that they depend upon whether the junction width exceeds or is less than the Josephson penetration depth. For widths greater than the Josephson penetration depth, the transport properties are dominated by Josephson vortex flow. For widths less than the Josephson penetration depth, the zero-field dissipation is dominated by Josephson phase diffusion. For non-zero applied fields, there is a good fit to the classical “Fraunhofer” dependence of the critical current upon field in addition to a competition between Josephson phase diffusion and Josephson vortex flow.

    A simple analytical model of odd and even mode external inductance and kinetic inductance for coupled high-temperature superconducting (HTS) microstrip lines is developed. The kinetic inductance model is derived with the extended incremental inductance rule which is applied in a different way for different conductor thickness. The odd and even mode inductance, self- and mutual inductance, characteristic impedance, and attenuation constant are computed with the presented model expressions and the results agree well with that in published literature.

    A method to calculate the kinetic inductance for coupled HTS(High Tc Superconducting ) microstrip lines is proposed. That is, the odd-and-even mode inductances are obtained from the odd-and-even mode characteristic impedances, for finite t , the external inductance formula are developed by modifying the width W and the distance S between the strips, then different partial derivative expressions are given for four cases in order to calculate the corresponding kinetic inductances by using the incremental inductance rule and analyzing the different incremental inductance properties for different thicknesses. It is expected to be useful in design and analysis of HTS microwave circuits. The reliability of the model has been verified by two application examples.

    Simple formulae for the kinetic inductance of coupled superconducting microstrip lines in odd mode and even mode have been derived by using the conformal mapping technique. Based on the simple formulae, the geometrical effects of kinetic inductance in odd mode and even mode are analyzed and compared with those of magnetic inductance. The coupling effects of two proximity microstrip lines caused by the kinetic inductance are also studied. The kinetic inductance is dominant for smaller geometrical sizes but is less important than the magnetic inductance for larger geometrical sizes.
