title: Dissipative enhancement of the supercurrent in Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 intrinsic Josephson junctions.
abstract: We have measured dissipation-induced localization of the reaction coordinate for a metastable-state decay process in a model system with moderate damping. Specifically, the supercurrent in an array of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 intrinsic Josephson junctions is larger when all the junctions are in the zero-voltage state than when one or more junctions are in the voltage state since the dissipation is larger in the former case.
