Abstract

The measured normal-state resistance threshold for the onset of global superconductivity is calculated, in the mean-field approximation, for a Josephson-junction array in which the normal-state junction resistances and, hence, also the Josephson coupling energies, are weakly disordered. Such disorder increases the threshold by a nonuniversal factor which depends on the width of the junction conductance distribution and the lattice coordination number.
