Abstract In this paper we use a numerical method to study the quantum effect of dynamical localization on the supercurrent in a mesoscopic Josephson junction driven by a periodically external electromagnetic field. We find that the charge is localized effectively when the ratio of the field magnitude and the field frequency equal some critical values, and in these cases the amplitude of the oscillation of the supercurrent will remain constant.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
