Quantum Superconductor-Metal Transition in a 2D Proximity-Coupled Array | | M. V. Feigel’man

1 Mar 1998 | | Subject: | Superconductivity; Mesoscopic Systems and Quantum Hall Effect | cond-mat.supr-con cond-mat.mes-hall | | Abstract: | We construct a theory of quantum fluctuatons in a regular array of small superconductive islands connected via low-resistance tunnel contacts to a dirty thin metal film. Electron-electron interaction in the film is assumed to be repulsive. The system is macroscopically superconductive when the distance between neighbouring islands is short enough. The zero-temperature phase transition from superconductive to normal-conductive state is shown to occur with the increase of distance between superconductive islands; the logarithm of the critical distance is proportional to the low-frequency zero-voltage Andreev conductance between the SC island and the film. This critical distance is always much less the than the two-dimensional localization length, so the considered effect develops when weak-localization corrections are still small. The dependence of the critical temperature on the film conductance and inter-island distance is found. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9803006 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
