Abstract
Josephson junctions based on superconducting materials are fundamental components for quantum detection, quantum communication and quantum computers. An accurate behavioral model of Josephson junctions is the prerequisite for predicting the response (or the behavior) of various superconducting circuits. In this study, we present a resistively and capacitively shunted junction model-based behavioral-level model for the current–voltage characteristics of Josephson junctions. This model accurately predicts the current–voltage characteristics and their temperature dependencies of Josephson junctions made of different materials under three typical working modes: underdamped voltage-driven, overdamped current-driven, and underdamped current-driven. Additionally, it forecasts the critical current and superconducting energy gap characteristics with respect to temperature, as well as the constraint relationship between the shunt resistance, superconducting energy gap, and critical current. Comparing the measured data with the simulation predictions, the model has an average accuracy of 89.28\(\%\), which demonstrate its reliability.
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Computational Electronics brings together research on all aspects of modeling and simulation of modern electronics. This includes optical, electronic, mechanical, and quantum mechanical aspects, as well as research on the underlying mathematical algorithms and computational details. The related areas of energy conversion/storage and of molecular and biological systems, in which the thrust is on the charge transport, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties, are also covered.
In particular, we encourage manuscripts dealing with device simulation; with optical and optoelectronic systems and photonics; with energy storage (e.g. batteries, fuel cells) and harvesting (e.g. photovoltaic), with simulation of circuits, VLSI layout, logic and architecture (based on, for example, CMOS devices, quantum-cellular automata, QBITs, or single-electron transistors); with electromagnetic simulations (such as microwave electronics and components); or with molecular and biological systems. However, in all these cases, the submitted manuscripts should explicitly address the electronic properties of the relevant systems, materials, or devices and/or present novel contributions to the physical models, computational strategies, or numerical algorithms.
