Influence of thermal fluctuations on an underdamped Josephson tunnel junction
arXiv:cond-mat/0304102
Abstract
Inspired by a recent experiment, we study the influence of thermal fluctuations on the - characteristics of a Josephson junction, coupled to a strongly resistive environment. We obtain analytical results in the limit where the Josephson energy is larger than the charging energy and quasiparticles are absent.
