Abstract

We consider SNS junctions with a strong-coupling normal layer N, and calculate the Josephson critical current density Jc as a function of the electron-phonon coupling properties of the N layer. It is shown quantitatively that Jc drops quickly as the coupling strength increases and that in thick junctions with the thickness 2b≳2π(ΔS/ħωph)ξS, the falling rate depends only on the coupling constant λ regardless of the spectrum of α2F(ω).
