Glassy dynamics of Josephon arrays on a dice lattice

Abstract

In this Letter we study the phase diagram and the approach to the equilibrium of Josephson junction arrays on a dice lattice for two different values of the magnetic frustration (f=1/2,1/3f=1/2,1/3). In both cases the array unedrgoes a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless like phase transition. For the fully frustrated array, f=1/2f=1/2, we find evidence of a {\em glassy behavior} although the system has {\em no disorder}. For comparison we study dynamics of the array at a different value of frustration (f=1/3f=1/3) and find no trace of glassy dynamics.
