Stabilizing Superconductivity in Nanowires by Coupling to Dissipative Environments
arXiv:cond-mat/0601457 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.157005
Abstract
We present a theory for a finite-length superconducting nanowire coupled to an environment. We show that in the absence of dissipation quantum phase slips always destroy superconductivity, even at zero temperature. Dissipation stabilizes the superconducting phase. We apply this theory to explain the "anti-proximity effect" recently seen by Tian et. al. in Zinc nanowires.
