Thermal and quantum depletion of superconductivity in narrow junctions created by controlled electromigration

Thermal and quantum depletion of superconductivity in narrow junctions created by controlled electromigration

Nanostructured superconductors allow dissipationless electrical transport to be exploited in technologically relevant devices. Here, the authors follow how detrimental fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter evolve in Al atomic contacts as their width is controlled by electromigration.
