Abstract

The output voltage of a dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) containing a resistive section Rs oscillates at a frequency νq =Vs/ φ00=flux quantum) when a current controlled voltage Vs is maintained across Rs. These oscillations have been observed from ∼10 -1 to 1011 Hz, using Rs values ranging from ∼10-10 to ∼10 -3 Ω in low inductance (∼10- 10 H) point contact SQUID loops. At high frequencies, they manifest themselves in the dc current-voltage characteristics by inducing extra current steps.
