摘要

A multiterminal superconducting device with the S(1)IS(2)FIS(3) structure (where S, I, and F denote a superconductor, an insulator, and a ferromagnetic material) is fabricated and characterized. Introducing a thin ferromagnetic layer into the middle electrode dramatically reduces parasitic back action of the acceptor junction (S(1)IS(2)) bias current on the injector junction (S(2)FIS(3)) current-voltage characteristic as compared with that for the formerly reported quiteron, a device exploiting similar operation principle.
