Josephson: possible new effects in superconductive tunnelling

What changed

Predicted DC and AC pair currents and radio-frequency-induced voltage relations across a barrier.

Scientific scope

The record is Josephson’s sole-author 1962 Physics Letters theory paper. It does not absorb prior single-particle tunnelling experiments, subsequent experimental confirmation, voltage standards or later Josephson-junction technologies.
