MiTMoJCo (Microscopic Tunneling Model for Josephson Contacts) is C code which aims to assist modeling of superconducting Josephson contacts based on the microscopic tunneling theory. The code offers implementation of a computationally demanding part of this calculation, that is evaluation of superconducting pair and quasiparticle tunnel currents from the given tunnel current amplitudes (TCAs) which characterize the junction material. MiTMoJCo comes with a library of pre-calculated TCAs for frequently used Nb-AlOx-Nb and Nb-AlN-NbN junctions, a Python module for developing custom TCAs, supplementary optimum filtration module for extraction of a constant component of a sinusoidal signal and examples of modeling few common cases of superconducting Josephson contacts.

Since the very first experimental realization of Josephson flux-flow oscillator (FFO), its theoretical description has been limited by the phenomenological per- turbed sine-Gordon equation (PSGE). While PSGE can qualitatively describe the topological
excitations in Josephson junctions that are sine-Gordon solitons or flux- ons, it is unable to capture essential physical phenomena of a realistic system such as the coupling between tunnel currents and electromagnetic radiation. Furthermore, PSGE neglects any dependence on energy gaps of superconductors and makes no distinction between symmetric and asymmetric junctions: those made of two iden- tical or two different superconducting materials. It was not until recently when it became possible to calculate properties of FFO by taking into account information about energy gaps of superconductors [D. R. Gulevich et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 024215 (2017)]. Such approach is based on the microscopic tunneling theory and has been shown to describe essential features of symmetric Nb-AlOx-Nb junctions. Here we extend this approach to asymmetric Nb-AlN-NbN junctions and compare the calculated current-voltage characteristics to our experimental results.
We elaborate a theoretical description of large Josephson junctions which is based on the Werthamers microscopic tunneling theory. The model naturally incorporates coupling of electromagnetic radiation to the tunnel currents and, therefore, is partic
ularly suitable for description of the self-coupling effect in Josephson junction. In our numerical calculations we treat the arising integro-differential equation, which describes temporal evolution of the superconducting phase difference coupled to the electromagnetic field, by the Odintsov-Semenov-Zorin algorithm. This allows us to avoid evaluation of the time integrals at each time step while taking into account all the memory effects. To validate the obtained microscopic model of large Josephson junction we focus our attention on the Josephson flux flow oscillator. The proposed microscopic model of flux flow oscillator does not involve the phenomenological damping parameter, rather, the damping is taken into account naturally in the tunnel current amplitudes calculated at a given temperature. The theoretically calculated current-voltage characteristics is compared to our experimental results obtained for a set of fabricated flux flow oscillators of different lengths. Our theoretical calculation agrees well with the obtained experimental results, and, to our knowledge, is the first where theoretical description of Josephson flux flow oscillator is brought beyond the perturbed sine-Gordon equation.
We calculate the critical current density $J^J_c$ for c-axis Josephson tunneling between identical high temperature superconductors twisted an angle $phi_0$ about the c-axis. We model the tunneling matrix element squared as a Gaussian in the change o
f wavevector q parallel to the junction, $<|t({bf q})|^2>proptoexp(-{bf q}^2a^2/2pi^2sigma^2)$. The $J^J_c(phi_0)/J^J_c(0)$ obtained for the s- and extended-s-wave order parameters (OPs) are consistent with the Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+delta}$ data of Li {it et al.}, but only for strongly incoherent tunneling, $sigma^2ge0.25$. A $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave OP is always inconsistent with the data. In addition, we show that the apparent conventional sum rule violation observed by Basov et al. might be understandable in terms of incoherent c-axis tunneling, provided that the OP is not $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave.
We present results for a multichannel tunneling model that describes point-contact spectra between a metallic tip and a superconducting heavy-fermion system. We calculate tunneling spectra both in the normal and superconducting state. In point-contac
t and scanning tunneling spectroscopy many heavy-fermion materials, like CeCoIn5, exhibit an asymmetric differential conductance, dI/dV, combined with a strongly suppressed Andreev reflection signal in the superconducting state. For Andreev reflection to occur a junction has to be in the highly transparent limit. Here we focus on the opposite limit, namely that of low transparency leading to BCS-like dI/dV curves. We discuss the consequences of a multichannel tunneling model for CeCoIn5 assuming itinerant electron bands and localized f electrons.
The microscopic theory of Josephson effect in point contacts between two-band superconductors is developed. The general expression for the Josephson current, which is valid for arbitrary temperatures, is obtained. We considered the dirty superconduct
ors with interband scattering, which produces the coupling of the Josephson currents between different bands. The influence of phase shifts and interband scattering rates in the banks is analyzed near critical temperature Tc. It is shown that for some values of parameters the critical current can be negative, which means the pi-junction behavior.
