Abstract

One model of granular superconductors is based on a Josephson-junction array with capacitive, or charging, terms. As a result of having these noncommuting terms in the Hamiltonian, energy transport is possible. We have obtained an expression for the heat current for this model and have employed it in calculating the thermal conductivity κ. We find that as the temperature is lowered through the system’s order-disorder phase transition, κ increases by more than one order of magnitude. Effects of having a distribution of grain sizes are also calculated.
