Question

Two superconductors separated by a very thin strip of insulator is named as

Answer 1

Josephson junctions on the basis of superconductivity.

Answer 2

Two superconductors separated by a very thin strip of the insulator is named as the superconducting tunnel junction (STJ).

• A superconducting tunnel junction (STJ) is often called a Josephson photon counter.
• Including high-sensitivity detectors of electromagnetic radiation,
• Current flows through the junction via the process of quantum tunneling.
• The STJ is a type of Josephson junction.
• All currents flowing through the STJ through the insulating layer via the process of quantum tunneling.
