In this study, we investigate numerically the terahertz radiation from the mesa-structured intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs). The Sine–Gordon equation for inside of the mesa, and the Maxwell equation for outside of the mesa, are solved simultaneously. We consider the influence of a hot spot in the mesa where jc locally decreases, and calculate the radiation power as a function of the voltage. We observe strong radiation when the ac Josephson frequency satisfies the cavity resonance condition. For this strong radiation from the IJJs mesa, we calculate the radiation patterns. The radiation patterns reflect the existence of two types of internal modes: a uniform background mode and a cavity resonance mode. Furthermore, the radiation patterns are strongly affected by the diffraction at substrate edges.

We report on the observation of bulk superconductivity from dc magnetization measurements in a cylindrical single crystal of CuxBi2Se3. The magnitude of the magnetization in the Meissner state is very small, and the magnetic-field dependence of the magnetization just above the lower critical field Hc1 is very different from those of usual type-II superconductors. We studied the character of the vortex state theoretically in a spin-triplet pairing superconductor and compared it with the experimental results. The results showed that the superconductivity observed in CuxBi2Se3 is consistent with the spin-triplet pairing superconductivity with odd parity. We also observed a rapid relaxation phenomenon of the superconducting diamagnetism.

In this study, we numerically investigate the terahertz radiation from mesa-structured intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) using a three-dimensional calculation model. We assume an in-phase mode of the phase differences and calculate electromagnetic fields inside and outside of the IJJs simultaneously. We consider the appearance of a hot spot in the mesa where jc locally decreases and investigate the change of the radiation power with varying hot-spot positions. The radiation powers for three different hot-spot positions are calculated as functions of voltage. We observe strong radiation when the ac Josephson frequency satisfies the cavity resonance condition. Transverse-magnetic modes TMm,n whose indices m and n are even appear regardless of the positions of hot spots. Meanwhile, the TMm,n cavity modes whose m or n are odd appear only when the hot spots break the reflectional symmetry of the mesa structure. Moreover, we calculate the radiation patterns emitted by the IJJs at these cavity resonance conditions. The radiation patterns reflect the existence of two types of internal modes, that is, a uniform background mode and a cavity resonance mode.

We propose a THz patch antenna, in which THz ac current is fed by intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs). The radiation power of the antenna for three different feed positions is calculated using the finite-difference time-domain method. We predict that the antenna will radiate sub-milliwatt terahertz waves with high radiation efficiency of over 20%. The maximum radiation power will depend on the position of the feed. We also show that the radiation characteristics of the antenna are described well by the equivalent inductance-capacitance-resistance circuit model.
