Structural disorder and critical voltage scaling in Al/AlOx/Al Josephson junction arrays

The study investigated how structural defects from fabrication—like evaporation rate and oxidation—affect collective transport in Al/AlOx/Al Josephson junction arrays. While these modifications significantly alter room-temperature resistance, the normalized critical-voltage scaling remains robust. However, introducing nanoscale gaps systematically changes this scaling behavior by altering local structural variations.
