Intrinsic non-linearity of Josephson junctions as an alternative origin of the missing first Shapiro step

Abstract The missing first Shapiro step in microwave-irradiated Josephson junctions has been widely interpreted as a hallmark of Majorana bound states. However, conventional mechanisms like junction underdamping or Joule heating can produce similar signatures. Here, we demonstrate that the intrinsic...
