摘要
We have studied the low-temperature behavior of lead-alloy Josephson tunnel junctions with area S almost-equal-to 0.01-mu-m2, isolated from their electromagnetic environment by high-resistance metallic resistors inserted into the current and voltage leads. Under irradiation with microwaves frequencies, f = 3.5-10 GHz, the dc differential resistance dV/dI, as a function of the dc current I, showed peaks at I = +/- 2ef. This effect, and other observations, arises due to the periodic electrical recharging of the junction by discrete Cooper pairs, and can be explained by the "orthodox" theory of Bloch oscillations.
