| Popis: | Nonlocal supercurrent was observed in mesoscopic planar SNS Josephson junction with additional normal metal electrodes when nonequilibrium quasiparticles were injected from the normal metal electrode in one of the superconducting banks of the Josephson junction in the absence of net transport current through the junction. We claim that the effect observed is due to a supercurrent counterflow appearing to compensate the quasiparticle flow in the SNS weak link. We have measured SNS junction response for different distances from the quasiparticle injector to the SNS junction at temperatures far below the superconducting transition temperature. The charge-imbalance relaxation length was estimated by using modified Kadin, Smith and Skocpol scheme in the case of planar geometry. The model developed allows to describe the interplay of the charge imbalance and Josephson effects in the nanoscale proximity system in detail. Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures |
