This system models tunneling between two electrodes through a small superconducting grain, and is described by a double sine-Gordon model. In accordance with theoretical predictions, we observe three different phases and crossover effects arising from an intermediate coupling fixed point. On the superconductor-to-metal phase boundary, the observed critical behavior is within error-bars the same as in a single junction, with identical values of the critical resistance and a correlation function exponent which depends only on the strength of the Josephson coupling. We explain these critical properties on the basis of a renormalization group (RG) calculation. In addition, we propose an alternative new mean-field theory for this transition, which correctly predicts the location of the phase boundary at intermediate Josephson coupling strength. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0508163 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
