Design of the NIST 10V programmable Josephson voltage standard system

January 13, 2011
Author(s)
Charles J. Burroughs, Paul Dresselhaus, Alain Rufenacht, David I. Olaya, Mike Elsbury, Yi-hua D. Tang, Samuel Benz
NIST has developed and implemented a new Programmable Josephson Voltage Standard (PJVS) that operates at 10 V. This next-generation system is optimized for both dc metrology and stepwise-approximated ac voltage measurements for frequencies up to a few

10 Volt Programmable Josephson voltage standard circuits using NbSi-barrier junctions

Paul D. Dresselhaus, Mike Elsbury, David I. Olaya, Charles J. Burroughs, Samuel P. Benz
Programmable Josephson voltage standard (PJVS) circuits were developed that operate at 16 GHz to 20 GHz with operating margins larger than 1 mA. Two circuit designs were demonstrated each having a total of ~ 300,000 junctions, which were divided into

Development and investigation of intrinsically shunted junction series arrays for ac Josephson voltage standards

Different types of intrinsically shunted Josephson junctions have been developed and inves¬tigated for ac voltage standard applications at PTB. The first type for generation of voltages up to 10 V is driven by a 70 GHz sinusoidal microwave signal and

Digital Circuits Using Self-Shunted Nb/NbxSi1-x/Nb Josephson Junctions

May 27, 2010

David I. Olaya, Paul Dresselhaus, Samuel Benz, Anna Herr, Quentin Herr, alex Ioannidis, Donald Miller, Alan Kleinsasser
For the first time superconducting digital circuits based on novel Josephson junctions with amorphous niobium-silicon (a-NbSi) barriers were designed, fabricated and tested. Compared with the resistively shunted aluminum-oxide-barrier junctions that are

Niobium-silicide junction technology for superconducting digital electronics

David I. Olaya, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
We present a technology based on Nb/NbxSi1-x/Nb junctions, with barriers near the metal-insulator transition, for applications in superconducting electronics (SCE) as an alternative to Nb/AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions. Josephson junctions with co-sputtered

David I. Olaya, Paul D. Dresselhaus, Samuel P. Benz
Digital superconducting electronics (SCE), which allows for very low power consumption and fast switching speeds, are a promising technology to deliver ultra-high performance computation. Currently, the preferred technology for junctions in SCE consists of

1V and 10V SNS Programmable Voltage Standards for 70 GHz
