Thermally activated conductance in arrays of small Josephson junctions (1306.6304v1)
Published 26 Jun 2013 in cond-mat.supr-con
Abstract: We present measurements of the temperature-dependent conductance for series arrays of small-capacitance SQUIDs. At low bias voltages, the arrays exhibit a strong Coulomb blockade, which we study in detail as a function of temperature and Josephson energy $E_J$. We find that the zero-bias conductance is well described by thermally activated charge transport with the activation energy on the order of $\Lambda E_C$, where $\Lambda$ is the charge screening length in the array and $E_C$ is the charging energy of a single SQUID.
