Anomalous critical current in double-barrier Nb/Al–AlOx–Al–AlOx–Nb devices

Double-barrier Nb/Al–AlOx–Al–AlOx–Nb devices with a “dirty” middle Al layer were fabricated and investigated. An anomalously large Josephson critical current at low temperatures and a nonmonotonic dependence of the device resistance on the thickness of the middle Al layer were found.
