Abstract

This study is devoted to the investigation of tunneling superconductor–insulator–superconductor (SIS) Josephson junctions with a new type of shunt based on an additional superconductor–insulator–normal metal (SIN) junction placed around the SIS junction. In the course of study, the parameters of such shunted junctions are numerically calculated and their current–voltage characteristics (IVC) are simulated. The designed structures are assembled in real samples and their parameters are studied; the IVC of junctions with different degrees of shunting are measured, and the behavior of these junctions under the influence of high-frequency signals in the subterahertz range is studied.
