Abstract
We conduct microwave impedance measurements on a one-dimensional (1D) array of Josephson junctions to experimentally determine the Josephson inductance and shunt resistance of the constituent junctions. The effective Josephson energy provides an estimate of the environmental impedance, which is greatly increased due to phase fluctuations in the neighboring junctions. This enhancement is attributed to the charge solitons in the 1D system. In general, the environmental impedance is dominated by the junction’s normal resistance in the superconducting phase coherent regime, but overwhelmed by zero-bias resistance and differential resistance, respectively, in the Coulomb blockaded regime and in the phase fluctuating regime. The change in phase fluctuations owing to a dc bias agrees with the finite temperature phase diffusion model.
