Scaling Analysis of Magnetic Filed Tuned Phase Transitions in One-Dimensional Josephson Junction Arrays

Abstract

We have studied experimentally the magnetic field-induced superconductor-insulator quantum phase transition in one-dimensional arrays of small Josephson junctions. The zero bias resistance was found to display a drastic change upon application of a small magnetic field; this result was analyzed in context of the superfluid-insulator transition in one dimension. A scaling analysis suggests a power law dependence of the correlation length instead of an exponential one. The dynamical exponents $z$ were determined to be close to 1, and the correlation length critical exponents were also found to be about 0.3 and 0.6 in the two groups of measured samples.
