Destruction of superconductivity in Josephson junction arrays by positional disorder

  • 1. L. D. Landau Inst. for Theoretical Physics, Moscow (Russia)

Description

For the integer number of flux quanta per plaquette the Josephson junction array with geometrical irregularities can be described by the XY-model with random frustration on the bonds (so called positional disorder). We show that the phase with quasi-long-range order in which the vortices are bound in neutral pairs in presence of such a disorder is no longer stable. (orig.)
