The result is determined by the superconducting gap and by the aspect ratio of the junction (length L, small relative to the width W and to the superconducting coherence length). Moving away from the Dirac point of zero doping, we recover the usual ballistic result in which the Fermi wave length takes over from L. The product of critical current and normal-state resistance retains its universal value (up to a numerical prefactor) on approaching the Dirac point.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-05-23T17:02:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "josephson effect", "ballistic graphene", "dirac point", "usual ballistic result", "fermi wave length" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
