Josephson effects in a bulk granular superconductor.
Experimental results are presented for the dc and ac Josephson effects found in a bulk granular superconductor comprised of about 10 to the 4th superconducting grains (less than 45 microns in dimension) packed in an insulator capsule. This new type of Josephson weakly coupled superconductor offers high sensitivity in response to microwave radiation with a noise-equivalent power as low as 10 to the minus 14th W/(Hz) one half.
