Superconductor–insulator transition in nanowires and nanowire arrays
Superconducting nanowires are the dual elements to Josephson junctions, with quantum phase-slip (QPS) processes replacing the tunneling of Cooper pairs. When the QPS amplitude E _S is much smaller than the inductive energy E _L , the nanowire responds as a superconducting inductor. When the inductiv...
