Abstract

The current-voltage characteristics of two long capacitively coupled one-dimensional arrays of small Josephson junctions were measured, where the coupling capacitance was comparable with the capacitance of the junction. The current in both arrays was simultaneously measured at various applied magnetic fields with the voltage applied to only one of the arrays. The current was induced in the unbiased array beyond the threshold voltage for the Coulomb blockade of the biased array. The direction of the induced current is the same as that of the current in the other array when the applied magnetic field is small and Cooper-pair tunneling is dominant, while it changes to the opposite direction when the applied magnetic field is large and single-electron tunneling is dominant. This suggests that the current induction mechanism between arrays of small Josephson junctions is substantially different from that in arrays of small normal tunnel junctions.
