Supercurrent dephasing by electron-electron interactions

We demonstrate that in sufficiently long diffusive superconducting-normal-superconducting (SNS) junctions dc Josephson current is exponentially suppressed by electron-electron interactions down to zero temperature. This suppression is caused by the effect of Cooper pair dephasing which occurs in the normal metal and defines a new fundamental length scale Lφ in the problem. Provided the temperature length exceeds Lφ this dephasing length can be conveniently extracted from equilibrium measurements of the Josephson current.
