The simulation of single cooper pair trasistor for megnetic flux detector
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article presents a study on the characteristics of single Cooper-pair transistors when integrated into a Superconducting Quantum Interface Device (SQUID) circuit. SQUID is a highly sensitive magnetometer that uses phase balance checks through single Cooper-pair transistors when Josephson currents flow. The study explores the tuning of the supercurrent of the single Cooper-pair transistors in a circuit with a loop coupled to gate voltage. Understanding the behavior of single Cooper-pair transistors in this loop structure is crucial for integrating them with other superconducting electronic circuits. The research includes simulations of the single Cooper-pair transistor in one branch of a SQUID loop circuit. The simulation results indicate that single Cooper-pair transistors can be used as superconducting current switches.
