Asymptotic states in long Josephson junctions in an external magnetic field

Asymptotic states in long Josephson junctions in an external magnetic field.

Asymptotic states in long Josephson junctions are investigated in an external magnetic field. We show that a choice one of the solution of the stationary Ferrell-Prange equation can carry be out with use of an asymptotic solution of the sine-Gordon equation and that an evolution to that stable solution occurs by passing through metastable states, which is determined with a form of quickly dampe...

Chaos in long Josephson junctions without external rf driving force.

Simulations of long Josephson junctions in an external magnetic field show a variety of chaotic behaviors. They consist of period-doubling bifurcation, intermittency between and within Fiske steps, and quasiperiodic motion at Fiske steps. A physical explanation for the chaotic behavior is presented. The influence of surface resistance to the chaotic motion is investigated. A diagram in terms of...

Pb–Graphene–Pb Josephson Junctions: Characterization in Magnetic Field

We fabricate superconductor–graphene– superconductor Josephson junctions with superconducting regions made of lead (Pb). The critical current through graphene may be modulated by the external magnetic field; the resulting Fraunhofer interference pattern shows several periods of oscillations, suggesting that the junction is uniform. Deviations from the perfect Fraunhofer pattern are observed, an...

Created-by-current states in long Josephson junctions

Critical curves ”critical current external magnetic field” of long Josephson junctions with inhomogeneity and variable width are studied. We demonstrate the existence of the regions of magnetic field where some fluxon states are stable only, if the external current through the junction is different from zero. Position and size of such regions depend on length of the junction, its geometry, para...
