Abstract
Point-contact weak-link junctions often possess hysteresis in their current-voltage characteristics. We describe experimental evidence which suggests that this hysteresis is not due to the effects described by Stewart and McCumber but rather that this hysteresis is a self-heating phenomenon.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
