Abstract: | A transistor-like three-terminal superconducting device-the superconductive magnetoelectric field-effect transistor (SMET)-is described. The SMET represents a field-controlled Josephson device with its control based on the magnetoelectric effect. The device is characterized by a very high input-output isolation because the input is strictly voltage-controlled. As such, it may be useful for interconnecting voltage-controlled semiconductor electronics with current-controlled superconducting devices. The design considerations are reviewed, and preliminary experimental results are presented. Possible other practical applications are also discussed |
