    Ah! now I understand. Thanks so much Zz. Rubens.

    Superconducting Tunnel Junctions

    By the way, I don't know why the magnetic field can suppress the supercurrent? Is it just the typical magnetic force to deflect the movement of the charges? Thanks again.

    Superconducting Tunnel Junctions

    Zz, thank you so much. Yup, I've read in an article that a magnetic field was applied to the device to suppress the supercurrent (dc Josephson effect). One more thing, for a SIS device having a very thin insulator (approx. 10 Angstrom), the wave functions of the superconductors are coupled...

    How Can You Identify the North Pole of a Bar Magnet Without Another Magnet?

    I think the best way is to use a string/thread and tie it at the middle of the bar magnet. Then just hang it out by holding the string/thread and let it move by itself without applying any force from you hand/fingers as much as possible.

    Pronouncing Michio Kaku: Tips and Tricks from a Linguistics Expert

    I thinks it is pronounced as what cesiumfrog posted but the surname is probably kah-kuh

    Superconducting Tunnel Junctions

    Just want to confirm if my understanding is correct regarding the detection method of terahertz radiation using superconducting tunnel junctions (a Superconductor-Insulator-Superconductor device). For a Niobium superconductor material (having Eg = 3meV corresponding to about 0.7 THz frequency...
