説明

<jats:p>The transport property of a superconducting Pb nanobridge, which is carved by focus ion beam technique from an atomically flat single-crystal Pb thin film grown on Si(111) substrate, is investigated. Below the superconducting transition temperature TC, the nanobridge exhibits a series of sharp voltage steps as a function of current. The multiple voltage steps are interpreted as a consequence of spatially localized phase slip centers or hot-spot formation in the bridge. Just below the critical current, the voltages versus current curve shows a power-law behavior in the low temperature region, but Ohmic near the TC. The thermally activated phase slip, quantum phase slip, and imhomogeneity in a one-dimensional superconducting system may contribute to the observed results.</jats:p>
