Current-phase relations (CPR) of Nb/2DES/Nb Josephson junctions on p-type InAs single crystals are investigated experimentally at various gate voltages in the temperature range 2 K≤ T≤ 4.2 K. The junctions are in equilibrium and the corresponding carrier density of the quasi-two-dimensional electron system is less than 1· 1012 cm−2 in the examined range of gate voltages. The junctions are incorporated into a washer-shaped superconducting loop with an inductance of about 80 pH that forms a single-junction interferometer. The loop is inductively coupled to a tank circuit with a resonance frequency of 17 MHz. The CPR is obtained from the measurement of the impedance of the phase-biased junction. The supercurrent in this type of the junctions is supposed to be carried by Andreev-bound states. For this coupling mechanism a non-sinusoidal form of the CPR is expected. Deviations from a sinusoidal CPR have been measured and are in accordance with theoretical predictions.
