摘要
We study switching current statistics in moderately damped Nb-InAs-Nb and intrinsic Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta Josephson junctions. A paradoxical collapse of thermal activation with increasing temperature is reported and explained by the interplay of two conflicting consequences of thermal fluctuations, which can both assist in premature escape and help in retrapping back into the stationary state. We analyze the influence of dissipation on the thermal escape by tuning damping with a gate voltage, magnetic field, temperature, and an in situ capacitor.
