Abstract
Resonances in the current-voltage characteristics of interferometers with two Nb-NbOx-Pb window junctions have been experimentally investigated. The data are compared with the theoretical curves computed both for the voltage and for the magnetic field dependence of the resonance amplitudes. Very good agreement is found in all the range of values of the damping parameter Γ=I0 R/Vr, where Vr is the resonant voltage and I0 and R are the maximum Josephson current and the parallel resistance of each junction. New features that cannot be explained in terms of the existing theory have been observed in devices with larger values of the parameter β=2πLI0/Φ0, where L is the loop inductance, and Φ0 is the flux quantum.
