Abstract :
A tight binding approach based on the Bogoliubov de-Genes approach has
been used to calculate the DC Josephson current for short junctions with
respect to the superconducting coherence length with a lattice model for SGNR-
S junctions. We calculate the phase, length, width, and chemical
potential dependence at the Josephson junction and discuss the similarities and
differences with regard to the theoretical and experimental results obtained for
graphene. Regarding the calculations on graphene, using a lattice model, we
convert the graphene honeycomb structure to a brick lattice structure that does
not change the lattice topology. Then, by removing several atoms from the
lattice, we create the simple vacancy defects in the brick lattice. Also we
calculate the Josephson current with these vacancies.
