Opis

This volume is a review of recent progress in the understanding of the physics of the superconducting arrays. Papers are arranged in five categories: from the single superconducting junctions to the Josephson junction array - an introduction to theory, meaningful experiments and technology; charging effects and phase transitions; static properties of classical JJ arrays; dynamics and coherence in classical JJ arrays; and toward JJ arrays applications. All the topical contributions go well beyond those characteristics of the condensed matter physics and offer links to the domains of the nonlinear science, complex systems and statistical mechanics.
