We investigate theoretically the effect of the coupling radius on the transfer function in 1D and 2D SQUID arrays with different number of Josephson junctions in parallel and series at 77 K. Our results show a plateauing of the array maximum transfer function with the number of junctions in parallel. The plateauing defines the array coupling radius which we show increases with decreasing the normalised impedance of the SQUID loop inductance. The coupling radius is found to be independent of the number of junctions in series. Finally, we investigate the voltage versus magnetic field response and maximum transfer function of one 1D and two 2D SQIF arrays with different SQUID loop area distributions.

We present a theoretical model for 2D SQUID and SQIF arrays with over-damped Josephson junctions for uniform bias current injection at 77 K. Our simulations demonstrate the importance of including Johnson thermal noise and reveal that the mutual indu
ctive coupling between SQUID loops is of minor importance. Our numerical results establish the validity of a simple scaling behaviour between the voltages of 1D and 2D SQUID arrays and show that the same scaling behaviour applies to the maximum transfer functions. The maximum transfer function of a 2D SQUID array can be further optimised by applying the optimal bias current which depends on the SQUID loop self-inductance and the junction critical current. Our investigation further reveals that a scaling behaviour exits between the maximum transfer function of a 2D SQUID array and that of a single dc-SQUID. Finally, we investigate the voltage response of 1D and 2D SQIF arrays and illustrate the effects of adding spreads in the heights and widths of SQUID loops.
Nanostructuring of superconducting materials to form dense arrays of thin parallel nanowires with significantly large transverse Josephson coupling has proven to be an effective way to increase the upper critical field of superconducting elements by
as much as two orders of magnitude as compared to the corresponding bulk materials and, in addition, may cause considerable enhancements in their critical temperatures. Such materials have been realized in the linear pores of mesoporous substrates or exist intrinsically in the form of various quasi-1D crystalline materials. The transverse coupling between the superconducting nanowires is determined by the size-dependent coherence length E0. In order to obtain E0 over the Langer-Ambegaokar- McCumber-Halperin (LAMH) theory, extensive experimental fitting parameters have been required over the last 40 years. We propose a novel Monte Carlo algorithm for determining E0 of the multi-Cooper pair system in the 1D limit. The concepts of uncertainty principle, Pauli-limit, spin flip mechanism, electrostatic interaction, thermal perturbation and co-rotating of electrons are considered in the model. We use Pb nanowires as an example to monitor the size effect of E0 as a result of the modified electron-electron interaction without the need for experimental fitting parameters. We investigate how the coherence length determines the transverse coupling of nanowires in dense arrays. This determines whether or not a global phase-coherent state with zero resistance can be formed in such arrays. Our Monte Carlo results are in very good agreement with experimental data from various types of superconducting nanowire arrays
We develop a two-dimensional (2D) Superconducting Quantum Interference Filter (SQIF) array based on recently introduced high-linearity tri-junction bi-SQUIDs. Our bi-SQUID SQIF array design is based on a tight integration of individual bi- SQUID cell
s sharing inductances with adjacent cells. We provide extensive computer simulations, analysis and experimental measurements, in which we explore the phase dynamics and linearity of the array voltage response. The non-uniformity in inductances of the bi-SQUIDs produces a pronounced zero-field single antipeak in the voltage response. The anti-peak linearity and size can be optimized by varying the critical current of the additional junction of each bi-SQUID. The layout implementation of the tight 2D array integration leads to a distinct geometrical diamond shape formed by the merged dual bi-SQUID cells. Different size 2D arrays are fabricated using standard HYPRES niobium 4.5 kA/cm2 fabrication process. The measured linearity, power gain, and noise properties will be analyzed for different array sizes and the results will be compared with circuit simulations. We will discuss a design approach for the electrically small magnetic field antenna and low-noise amplifiers with high bandwidth based on these 2D bi-SQUID SQIF arrays. The results from this work will be used to design chips densely and completely covered in bi-SQUIDs that has optimized parameters such as linearity and power gain.
The bulk-boundary correspondence guarantees topologically protected edge states in a two-dimensional topological superconductor. Unlike in topological insulators, these edge states are, however, not connected to a quantized (spin) current as the elec
tron number is not conserved in a Bogolyubov-de Gennes Hamiltonian. Still, edge currents are in general present. Here, we use the two-dimensional Rashba system as an example to systematically analyze the effect symmetry reductions have on the order-parameter mixing and the edge properties in a superconductor of Altland-Zirnbauer class DIII (time-reversal-symmetry preserving) and D (time-reversal-symmetry breaking). In particular, we employ both Ginzburg-Landau and microscopic modeling to analyze the bulk superconducting properties and edge currents appearing in a strip geometry. We find edge (spin) currents independent of bulk topology and associated topological edge states which evolve continuously even when going through a phase transition into a topological state. Our findings emphasize the importance of symmetry over topology for the understanding of the non-quantized edge currents.
We present an experimental and theoretical study of row switching in two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays. We have observed novel dynamic states with peculiar percolative patterns of the voltage drop inside the arrays. These states were directly
visualized using laser scanning microscopy and manifested by fine branching in the current-voltage characteristics of the arrays. Numerical simulations show that such percolative patterns have an intrinsic origin and occur independently of positional disorder. We argue that the appearance of these dynamic states is due to the presence of various metastable superconducting states in arrays.
