研究目的
Investigating the influence of gauge fields induced by strain on the supercurrent passing through graphene-based Josephson junctions.
研究成果
The study reveals that strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields enhance the Josephson current in graphene-based junctions, contrasting with the oscillatory behavior induced by real magnetic fields. The combination of both types of fields leads to unique interference patterns in the supercurrent density, including localized current profiles and inflated vortex cores. These findings highlight the distinct effects of pseudomagnetic fields on quantum interference phenomena in superconducting graphene heterostructures.
研究不足
The study is limited to the semiclassical approximation, which assumes straight trajectories for quasiparticles and ignores the bending of trajectories due to gauge fields. Additionally, the analysis is constrained to the limit where the junction size is much smaller than the cyclotron radius, and intervalley scatterings are weak or moderate.
