    摘要: Active superconducting devices are formed of thin films of superconductor which include a main conduction channel which has an active weak link region. The weak link region is composed of an array of links of thin film superconductor spaced from one another by voids and selected in size and thickness such that magnetic flux can propagate across the weak link region when it is superconducting. Magnetic flux applied to the weak link region will propagate across the array of links causing localized loss of superconductivity in the links and changing the effective resistance across the links. The magnetic flux can be applied from a control line formed of a superconducting film deposited coplanar with the main conduction channel and weak link region on a substrate. The devices can be formed of any type to superconductor but are particularly well suited to the high temperature superconductors since the devices can be entirely formed from coplanar films with no overlying regions. The devices can be utilized for a variety of electrical components, including switching circuits, amplifiers, oscillators and modulators, and are well suited to microwave frequency applications.

    摘要: A three-terminal device that exhibits transistor-like functionality at cryogenic temperatures may be formed from a single layer of superconducting material. A main current-carrying channel of the device may be toggled between superconducting and normal conduction states by applying a control signal to a control terminal of the device. Critical-current suppression and device geometry are used to propagate a normal-conduction hotspot from a gate constriction across and along a portion of the main current-carrying channel. The three-terminal device may be used in various superconducting signal-processing circuitry.

    摘要: A three-port component comprises a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a channel, which is corrected between the source electrode and the drain electrode and which is made of a material haying an electronic conductivity that can be varied by supplying and/or removing ions. The three-port component comprises an ion reservoir, which is in contact with a gate electrode, and which is connected to the channel so that the reservoir is able to exchange ions with the channel when a potential is applied to the gate electrode. Information can be stored on the three-port component by distributing the total number of ions, which are present in the ion reservoir and the channel, between the ion reservoir and the channel. The distribution of ions in the channel and the ion reservoir changes when, and only when, a corresponding driving potential is applied to the gate electrode. Thus, in contrast to RRAMS, there is no time-voltage dilemma.

    摘要: A magnetic flux-enhanced control line for a superconducting flux flow transistor (SFFT). The SFFT includes a pair of superconducting electrodes which provide a voltage output, a region of weakened superconductor connecting the electrodes and a control line. The region of weakened superconductor carries a current I.sub.body and the control line carries a current I.sub.Control. The control line further has a portion thereof proximate the weakened region for providing a localized magnetic field through the weakened region as a function of I.sub.Control. The magnetic flux through the weakened region induces vortices therein which have a resistance r.sub.o. The proximate portion of the control line forms a tortuous current path whereby the magnetic flux through the weakened region is increased for increasing r.sub.o so that the output voltage of the transistor is increased without increasing I.sub.Control.

    摘要: A superconducting active device has dual control inputs and is constructed such that the output of the device is effectively a linear mix of the two input signals. The device is formed of a film of superconducting material on a substrate and has two main conduction channels, each of which includes a weak link region. A first control line extends adjacent to the weak link region in the first channel and a second control line extends adjacent to the weak link region in the second channel. The current flowing from the first channel flows through an internal control line which is also adjacent to the weak link region of the second channel. The weak link regions comprise small links of superconductor, separated by voids, through which the current flows in each channel. Current passed through the control lines causes magnetic flux vortices which propagate across the weak link regions and control the resistance of these regions. The output of the device taken across the input to the main channels and the output of the second main channel and the internal control line will constitute essentially a linear mix of the two input signals imposed on the two control lines. The device is especially suited to microwave applications since it has very low input capacitance, and is well suited to being formed of high temperature superconducting materials since all of the structures may be formed coplanar with one another on a substrate.

    摘要: An active three-terminal superconducting device having an intersection region at which a hot spot may be controllably formed is described. The intersection region may exhibit current crowding in response to imbalances in current densities applied to channels connected to intersection region. The current crowding may form a hot spot, in which the superconducting device may exhibit a measurable resistance. In some cases, a three-terminal superconducting device may be configured to sense an amount of superconducting current flowing in a channel or loop without having to perturb the superconducting state or amount of current flowing in the channel. A three-terminal superconducting device may be used to read out a number of fluxons stored in a superconducting memory element.
