Abstract

We study the effect of thermal fluctuations in a fully frustrated Josephson junction array driven by a current I larger than the apparent critical current Ic(T). We calculate numerically the behavior of the chiral order parameter of Z2 symmetry and the transverse helicity modulus [related to the U(1) symmetry] as a function of temperature. We find that the Z2 transition occurs at a temperature TZ2(I) which is lower than the temperature TU(1)(I) for the U(1) transition. Both transitions could be observed experimentally from measurements of the longitudinal and transverse voltages.
