Abstract

Nonequilibrium phenomena in planar Josephson SNS nanostructures, where the superconductor (S) is Nb and the normal metal (N) is Cu or Au, have been studied experimentally. Using additional N electrodes attached to the S banks of the Josephson SNS junction, transport measurements have been performed at low temperatures with the injection of quasiparticles with the use of local and nonlocal connection schemes. The charge-imbalance relaxation length in niobium at temperatures much lower than the superconducting transition temperature has been determined experimentally for the first time.
