Static semifluxons in a long Josephson junction with p-discontinuity points
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate analytically a long Josephson junction with several p-discontinuity points characterized by a jump of p in the phase difference of the junction. The system is described by a perturbed-combined sineGordon equation. Via phase-portrait analysis, it is shown how the existence of static semifluxons localized around the discontinuity points is influenced by the applied bias current. In junctions with more than one corner, there is a minimum-facet-length for semifluxons to be spontaneously generated. A stability analysis is used to obtain the minimum-facet-length for multicorner junctions.

Josephson junctions and junction arrays are well studied devices in superconductivity. With external magnetic fields one can modulate the phase in a long junction and create traveling, solitonic waves of magnetic flux, called fluxons. Today, it is also possible to device two different types of junctions: depending on the sign of the critical current density jc ≷ 0, they are called 0or π-junctio...

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...

We consider a spatially nonautonomous discrete sine-Gordon equation with constant forcing and its continuum limit(s) to model a 0-π Josephson junction with an applied bias current. The continuum limits correspond to the strong coupling limit of the discrete system. The nonautonomous character is due to the presence of a discontinuity point, namely, a jump of π in the sine-Gordon phase. The cont...

A tight binding approach based on the Bogoliubov-de Gennes approach has been used to calculate the DC Josephson current for a lattice model for S-GNR-S junctions , for short junctions with respect to superconducting coherence length. We calculate the phase, length, width and chemical potential dependence at the Josephson junction and discuss the similarities and differences with regard to the t...
