摘要
We measured the switching from a superconducting state to a finite voltage state in a dc SQUID, which is equivalent to a single Josephson junction with tunable critical current. The width and the mean of the switching current distribution depend on the effective temperature T(eff) and I(c). The phase-diffusion was observed by investigating the switching current distribution as a function of T(eff). It is found that the crossover from the thermal activation to the phase-diffusion scaling with the ratio of I(c) and T(eff), clarifying the physical picture of the phase-diffusion. We developed an analytical multi-retrapping model which can address the experimental results very well.
