Averaged equations for distributed Josephson junction arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use an averaging method to study the dynamics of a transmission line studded by Josephson junctions. The averaged system is used as a springboard for studying experimental strategies which rely on spatial non-uniformity to achieve enhanced synchronization. A reduced model for the near resonant case elucidates in physical terms the key to achieving stable synchronized dynamics. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 05.45.Xt; 74.81.Fa; 85.25.Pb

Averaged equations for Josephson junction series arrays with LRC load
We derive the averaged equations describing a series array of Josephson junctions shunted by a parallel inductor-resistor-capacitor load. We assume that the junctions have negligable capacitance (β = 0), and derive averaged equations which turn out to be completely tractable: in particular the stability of both in-phase and splay states depends on a single parameter, δ. We find an explicit expr...
متن کاملMesh Currents and Josephson Junction Arrays
A simple but accurate mesh current analysis is performed on a XY model and on a SIMF model to derive the equations for a Josephson junction array. The equations obtained here turn out to be different from other equations already existing in the literature. Moreover, it is shown that the two models come from a unique hidden structure. ∗e-mail address: [email protected] ∗∗revised on May,...
متن کاملSynchronization in disordered Josephson junction arrays: small-world connections and the Kuramoto model.
We study synchronization in disordered arrays of Josephson junctions. In the first half of the paper, we consider the relation between the coupled resistively and capacitively shunted junction (RCSJ) equations for such arrays and effective phase models of the Winfree type. We describe a multiple-time-scale analysis of the RCSJ equations for a ladder array of junctions with non-negligible capaci...
متن کاملSynchronization of a Josephson junction array in terms of global variables.
We consider an array of Josephson junctions with a common LCR load. Application of the Watanabe-Strogatz approach [Physica D 74, 197 (1994)] allows us to formulate the dynamics of the array via the global variables only. For identical junctions this is a finite set of equations, analysis of which reveals the regions of bistability of the synchronous and asynchronous states. For disordered array...

We study the origin of subharmonic synchronization in arrays consisting of few over-damped Josephson junctions. We show that for asymmetric arrays, the evolution equations contain second (or higher) order derivatives or non-sinusoidal terms, both leading to fractional Shapiro steps in presence of external ac drive .
