Heating-free I-V of the `intrinsic' Josephson effect

TL;DR

This paper argues that the intrinsic, heating-free I-V characteristic of the intrinsic Josephson effect is linear, providing a theoretical basis for understanding its fundamental behavior.

Contribution

It introduces a theoretical argument supporting the linearity of the intrinsic Josephson I-V characteristic without heating effects, clarifying its fundamental nature.

Findings

Supports linearity of intrinsic I-V without heating effects

Provides theoretical justification for intrinsic Josephson behavior

Clarifies fundamental properties of Josephson junctions

Abstract

I present arguments favouring linearity of the intrinsic (heating-free) I-V of the `intrinsic' Josephson effect.
