Thermodynamics of a Phase-Driven Proximity Josephson Junction

Thermodynamics of a Phase-Driven Proximity Josephson Junction

We study the thermodynamic properties of a superconductor/normal metal/superconductor Josephson junction in the short limit. Owing to the proximity effect, such a junction constitutes a thermodynamic system where phase difference, supercurrent, temperature and entropy are thermodynamical variables c...
