Charge Transport through One-dimensional Arrays of Small Capacitance Josephson Junctions — •Jochen Zimmer, Hannes Rotzinger, and Alexey V. Ustinov — Physikalisches Institut, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

We investigate one-dimensional arrays of small capacitance Josephson junctions fabricated by conventional e-beam lithography techniques. The arrays are designed to operate in the vicinity of the Coulomb blockade regime. It has been suggested that charges propagate though these arrays in a form similar to solitary waves, following the sine-Gordon model. This system is dual to a long Josephson junction, in which magnetic flux solitons have been thoroughly investigated in the past. Localized charge excitations are of metrological interest because they might offer access to very accurate frequency-to-current conversion. Although previous experiments appear consistent with the existence of solitary charge transport, conclusive evidence is still missing. We present our recent fabrication and measurement results obtained at millikelvin temperatures.
