Description

Rectification experiments have been performed on UPt3-UPt3 and on Cu-UPt3 point contacts, using far-infrared radiation of 562 GHz. The voltage dependence of the rectification signal differs significantly from the second derivative d2V/dI2, which is also measured for these point contacts, which demonstrates that the point contacts are not in the ballistic regime. The results are explained with a heating model
