摘要: The DC Josephson effect is theoretically studied in a planar junction in which a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) infinite in lateral directions is in contact with two superconducting electrodes placed on top of the 2DEG. An energy gap in the excitation spectrum is created in the 2DEG due to the proximity effect. It is shown that under certain conditions, the region of the 2DEG underneath the superconductors is analogous to a superconducting region with an order parameter ϵg exp (i∅), where ϵg (ϵg< Δ) depends on …
