Thermoelectric ac Josephson effect in SNS junctions

It was experimentally evidenced, that Josephson radiation from an SNS junction exists, when a heat flow across the junction exceeds a critical value P_c. The ac component of the thermoelectric voltage was observed directly. The heat-flux-voltage characteristic of a TaCuTa junction showed steps of constant voltage, when the junction was irradiated by an external electromagnetic field at frequenct ～ 10² Hz.
