Direct measurements of the current-phase relation in graphene Josephson junctions

The current-phase relation (CPR) of a Josephson junction can provide key information about the microscopic processes and symmetries that control the supercurrent. In this talk, we present CPR measurements on Josephson junctions incorporating single-layer graphene as a weak link between Al superconducting electrodes with spacing \textless 100nm that are in the quasi-ballistic regime. We use a phase-sensitive SQUID technique to determine the supercurrent amplitude and phase as a function of temperature and electrostatic doping (gate voltage). As the critical current is varied, we observe a crossover from forward skewing in the CPR that arises from the low density of discrete electronic states in the junction to backward skewing induced by noise-rounding in the CPR measurement. We compare our results to theoretical models.
