Abstract

We consider the effects of disorder in Josephson-junction arrays with an average flux quanta per plaquette f0. We show that for f0=n+12, positional disorder decouples the excitations responsible for the destruction of superconductivity from other excitations so that near the critical field fc, the superconducting properties are described by the theory of integer f0, leading to the same critical field.
