Abstract:
Superconducting chiral domains associated with a time-reversal symmetry-breaking order parameter have garnered significant attention in kagome systems. In this Letter, we demonstrate both the intrinsic direct-current and alternating-current Josephson effects in the nanoplates of the vanadium-based kagome material CsV_{3}Sb_{5}, as evidenced by Fraunhofer-like patterns and Shapiro steps. Moreover, both the Fraunhofer-like patterns and Shapiro steps are modulated by thermal cycling, suggesting that the Josephson effects arise from dynamic superconducting domains. These findings may provide new insights into chiral superconductivity in CsV_{3}Sb_{5} and highlight the potential of these intrinsic Josephson junctions for applications in chiral superconductor-based quantum devices.

Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
