11. Φc is the magnetic field times the average area defined by the internal and external contours of the rhombi chain. To be specific, our phase γ coincides with the term γ defined in Ref..

16. We noticed in our previous designs a few % difference in the area of neighbour junctions leading to a small systematic inhomogeneity of critical currents. Here we made a new design which insures that any possible drift of the e -beam induced identical deformation on the shape of each junction. Dispersion of junctions sizes was finally not detectable.
