Towards weakening of the Coulomb blockade in artificially prepared clusters of superconducting grains

The relative role of dipole-dipole interactions between induced polarization moments in the total charge balance of a model system of two clusters (each cluster contains N superconducting grains) is analyzed. It is found that, due to its orientational nature, the dipole energy between clusters may o...
