Abstract

We use the formerly derived explicit analytical expressions for the conductivity of nanostructured superconductors supercooled below the critical temperature in electric field. Computer simulations reveal that the negative differential conductivity region of the current-voltage characteristic leads to excitation of electric oscillations. We simulate a circuit with distributed elements as a first step to obtain megahertz oscillations. This gives a hint that a hybrid device of nanostructured superconductors will work in terahertz frequencies. If the projected setup is successful, we consider the possibility to be put in a nanosatellite (such as a CubeSat). A study of high temperature superconductor layers in space vacuum and radiation would be an important technological task.

Keywords: Thin nanostructured superconductor film, negative differential conductivity, oscillations
