Circuit 10: Josephson Gap Potential Modulation

    WRspice jj qp modulation demo
    *
    * The rtype=4 option of the Josephson model causes the gap potential
    * to scale with the external "control current" absolute value.  For
    * unit control current (1 Amp) or larger, the full potential is used,
    * otherwise it scales linearly to zero.  The transfer function is defined
    * externally with controlled sources, as below.  The approximation
    * Vg = Vg0*(1-t**4) is pretty good, except near t = 1 (T = Tc, t = T/Tc).
    * The actual transfer function is left to the user - in the example below,
    * the ambient temperature is 7K, Tc=9.2K, and 1mv of "input" causes 1K
    * temperature shift.
    *
    * For amusement, change cct=1 to cct=0 below.  This runs much more quickly
    * as critical current is set to zero.
