Abstract

We report on the evidence of anomalous currents in graph-shaped arrays of Josephson junctions along peculiar branches of the networks. The specific case of a star-shaped array is considered and the evidence of the anomalies is achieved by comparing the current-voltage characteristics of the arrays embedded in the star structure with those of “reference” arrays which are fabricated by-side the network structure and are dc-isolated from these. The experimental data are consistent with the results of a theoretical model predicting gradients of the populations of Cooper pairs on the islands situated in proximity of the central superconductive island as a result of a Bose–Einstein condensation process.
