Tailoring Josephson coupling through superconductivity-induced nonequilibrium

The quasiparticle distribution existing under nonequilibrium in a superconductor-insulator-normal metal-insulator-superconductor mesoscopic line was investigated. This was done to study the supercurrent intensity in a long Josephson weak link. A description of this system was studied in the framework of the diffusive limit quasiclassical Green function theory. The effects of inelastic scattering with arbitrary strength were also studied.
