Abstract:

A recent experiment by T. I. Smith Phys. Rev. Letters v15 p460 1965 has demonstrated that a persistent current can be set up in a closed superconducting circuit containing a Josephson function. It is now shown that this aspect of the Josephson effect can be handled with the Ginzburg-Landau equations following a model developed in a recent paper D. A. Jacobson, Phys. Rev. v138A p1066 1965.
