This study investigates the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of layered Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy (Bi2212) single crystals, representing intrinsic Josephson junctions. Our results reveal a multi-branch I-V structure with significant hysteresis and evenly spaced voltage characteristics. The potential applications of Josephson junctions include defining voltage standards in metrology, enabling quantum computing through single electron transistors, and operating SQUIDs to detect magnetic fields with extreme sensitivity. Advanced numerical simulations were conducted using a 4th-order Runge-Kutta method, ensuring precision and reliability in findings.
