Abstract

We report on the first experimental observation of a systematic reduction of the critical current hysteresis in long superconducting proximity-effect bridges driven out of equilibrium by phonons dc injected from the bridge transverse normal metal strip. This observation may not be adequately accounted for by simple heating. We also find that (1) our experimental results deviate systematically from predictions of a simple heating model and (2) the deviations are in a direction apparently consistent with predictions of Parker's modified heating theory of nonequilibrium superconductors.
