Hysteretic current–voltage characteristics and Coulomb blockade in 1D-arrays of Josephson junctions

The IV characteristics (IVC) of 1D-arrays of small capacitance Josephson junctions with E C∼ E J have been measured. The IVC show Coulomb blockade of Cooper pair tunneling and exhibit a pronounced hysteresis which appears to be dual to the well-known resistively shunted junction behavior of ordinary...

Summary:The IV characteristics (IVC) of 1D-arrays of small capacitance Josephson junctions with E C∼ E J have been measured. The IVC show Coulomb blockade of Cooper pair tunneling and exhibit a pronounced hysteresis which appears to be dual to the well-known resistively shunted junction behavior of ordinary Josephson junctions. A dual serially resistive junction model is used to qualitatively explain the measured data.
