The interference between phase slips passing through different junctions of the array makes the hybridization sensitive to the charges of the superconducting islands comprising the array. This in turn results in the Aharonov-Casher effect for plasmons, which in absence of phase slips are insensitive to island charges.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-04-16T15:15:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "74.50.+r", "74.81.Fa" ], "keywords": [ "aharonov-casher effect", "phase slips", "persistent current states", "turn results", "island charges" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2013, "month": "Aug", "volume": 88, "number": 6, "pages": "060506" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvB..88f0506S" } } }
