Abstract
Dissipation effects on a single Josephson junction are studied based on a h armonic-oscillator model in the weak coupling region. It is shown that the system is controlled by two characteristic energy scales. The origin of the se energy scales is explained in terms of a classical plasma problem. This feature provides a new viewpoint on the superconductor-insulator transition of small Josephson junctions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights re served.
