摘要
We studied current-voltage characteristics of long one-dimensional Josephson junction chains with Josephson energy much larger than charging energy, E-J >> E-C. In this regime, typical I-V curves of the samples consist of a supercurrent-like branch at low-bias voltages followed by a voltage-independent chain current branch, I-chain at high bias. Our experiments showed that I-chain is not only voltage-independent but it is also practically temperature-independent up to T = 0.7T(C). We have successfully model the transport properties in these chains using a capacitively shunted junction model with nonlinear damping.
