WHAT DOES JOSEPHSON EFFECT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Josephson effect

Josephson effect

The Josephson effect is the phenomenon of supercurrent—i.e. a current that flows indefinitely long without any voltage applied—across a device known as a Josephson junction, which consists of two superconductors coupled by a weak link. The weak link can consist of a thin insulating barrier, a short section of non-superconducting metal, or a physical constriction that weakens the superconductivity at the point of contact. The Josephson effect is an example of a macroscopic quantum phenomenon. It is named after the British physicist Brian David Josephson, who predicted in 1962 the mathematical relationships for the current and voltage across the weak link. The DC Josephson effect had been seen in experiments prior to 1962, but had been attributed to "super-shorts" or breaches in the insulating barrier leading to the direct conduction of electrons between the superconductors. The first paper to claim the discovery of Josephson's effect, and to make the requisite experimental checks, was that of Philip Anderson and John Rowell. These authors were awarded patents on the effects that were never enforced, but never challenged.

Definition of Josephson effect in the English dictionary

The definition of Josephson effect in the dictionary is any one of the phenomena which occur when an electric current passes through a very thin insulating layer between two superconducting substances. The applications include the very precise standardization of the volt.
