An intermittent Josephson effect in the form of voltage and temperature oscillations in the voltage - current curves near 2 K is observed in pellets consisting of superconducting TaC nanocapsules coated with graphite. This phenomenon is attributed to
non-equilibrium conditions, when Cooper pairs across a junction, which stimulate the emission of photons and the feedback temperature change of the junction. It occurs in a three-dimensional granular framework composed of TaC/carbon/TaC tunneling junctions with a Mott metal-insulator transition, below the critical temperature Tc of non-ideal type-II superconductor TaC.
