In the maximally frustrated case when magnetic flux through each rhombi $Phi_r$ is equal to one half of superconductive flux quantum $Phi_0$, Josepshon current is due to correlated transport of {em pairs of Cooper pairs}, i.e. charge is quantized in units of $4e$. Sufficiently strong deviation $ deltaPhi equiv |Phi_r-Phi_0/2| > deltaPhi^c$ from the maximally frustrated point brings the system back to usual $2e$-quantized supercurrent. We present detailed analysis of Josepshon current in the fluctuation-dominated regime (sufficiently long chains) as function of the chain length, $E_J/E_C$ ratio and flux deviation $ deltaPhi$. We provide estimates for the set of parameters optimized for the observation of $4e$-supercurrent. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0405170 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
