| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have experimentally shown that application of high-frequency radiation in a range 100 kHz-170 GHz to an array of small Josephson junctions weaken its Coulomb blockade of Cooper-pair tunneling and induce conductance in the array. There exists a correlation between currents in two arrays of small Josephson junctions separated by a distance of the order of 10 um. We have demonstrated that this can be understood quantitatively if we assume that a current in one array induces an ac voltage in the other array the magnitude of which is proportional to the square root of the current in the first. We have also investigated I-V characteristics of an array of small junctions connected to SQUID arrays which serve as its environmental impedance. We showed a clear Bloch oscillation when the environmental impedance was large as well as current plateaus superposed. The latter has turned out due to a kind of nonlocal interaction of the tunnelings in the SQUID arrays and those in the junction array.
