Abstract
Exotic quantum transport phenomena established in Josephson junctions (JJs) are reflected by a nonsinusoidal current–phase relation (CPR). The solidified approach to measuring the CPR is via an asymmetric dc-SQUID with a reference JJ that has a high critical current. We probed this method by measuring CPRs of hybrid JJs based on the 3D topological insulator (TI) Bi2Te2Se with a nanobridge acting as a reference JJ. We captured both highly skewed and sinusoidal critical current oscillations within single devices which contradict the uniqueness of the CPR. This implies that the widely used method provides inaccurate CPR measurement and leads to misinterpretation. It was shown that the accuracy of the CPR measurement is mediated by the asymmetry in derivatives of the CPRs but not in critical currents, as was previously thought. Finally, we provided considerations for an accurate CPR measurement via the most commonly used reference JJs.
