摘要
We demonstrate the operation of a deterministic fluxon ratchet made of a stack of 30 intrinsic Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 Josephson junctions. The ratchet has the shape of a gear with 20 asymmetric teeth (periods). It produces a rectified voltage of about 100 mu V at a 12 GHz drive frequency. The effect of coupling between intrinsic junctions, i.e., the mode of fluxon motion for ratchet operation, has been studied within the framework of the two-dimensional coupled sine-Gordon equations. Further, we used low-temperature scanning laser microscopy to demonstrate that voltage rectification indeed is due to directed fluxon motion, in agreement with numerical simulations.
