Abstract
The dc transport properties of long arrays of small Al Josephson junctions, biased through on-chip Cr resistors, are studied. The IV-characteristics show a large Coulomb threshold for current as well as negative-slope regions indicating the regime of autonomous Bloch oscillations up to rather high frequencies of f = I/2e ~1 GHz, comparable to those reported by other groups for single junctions. On the other hand, a small depth of the back-bending implies a low duty cycle and a broad spectrum of the oscillations, which we attribute to the insufficiently high impedance of the bias resistors. A self-sustained switching process at a small bias current is used to study the statistics of the switching voltages and to determine the effective Bloch capacitance which was found to considerably exceed the geometric junction capacitance.
