Quantum Phase Transitions and Vortex Dynamics in Superconducting Networks
Josephson-junction arrays are ideal model systems to study a variety of phenomena such as phase transitions, frustration effects, vortex dynamics and chaos. In this review, we focus on the quantum dynamical properties of lowcapacitance Josephson-junction arrays. The two characteristic energy scales in these systems are the Josephson energy, associated with the tunneling of Cooper pairs between ...
متن کاملVortex dynamics in dilute two dimensional Josephson junction arrays
We have investigated the dynamics of vortices in a dilute two dimensional Josephson junction array where a fraction of the superconducting islands is missing. We have used the multiple trapping model to calculate the mobility of vortices and the frequency dependence of the resistance and inductance of the array.
متن کاملGeometrical Defects in Josephson Junction Arrays
Dislocations and disclinations in a lattice of Josephson junctions will affect the dynamics of vortex excitations within the array. These defects effectively distort the space in which the excitations move and interact. We calculate the interaction energy between such defects and excitations, determine vortex trajectories in twisted lattices, and discuss the consequences for experiment. Typeset...
متن کاملVoltage rectification in two dimensional Josephson junction arrays
We study numerically the directed motion of vortices (antivortices) under an applied ac bias in two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays (JJA) with an asymmetrically modulated periodic vortex pinning potential. We find that the ratchet effect in large 2D JJA can be obtained using the RSJ model for the overdamped vortex dynamics. The rectification effect shows a strong dependence on vortex dens...
متن کاملA ug 1 99 6 Hall effect and geometric phases in Josephson junction arrays
Since effectively the local contact vortex velocity dependent part of the Mag-nus force in a Josephson junction array is zero in the classical limit, we predict zero classical Hall effect. In the quantum limit because of the geometric phases due to the finite superfluid density at superconductor grains, rich and complex Hall effect is found in this quantum regime due to the Thouless-Kohmoto-Nig...
