Geometrical Defects in Josephson Junction Arrays
نویسنده
چکیده
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 using REVTEX 1

Josephson Current For a Graphene Nanoribbon Using a Lattice Model
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...
متن کاملTunneling into one-dimensional Josephson chains and Luttinger liquids
One-dimensional arrays of Josephson junctions have been studied because of their unusual zero-temperature superconductor-insulator phase transitions. Furthermore, their low-energy Hamiltonian coincides with that of a Luttinger liquid. Hence 1-D Josephson junction arrays provide a physical realization of this model system. In order to explore these similarities we discuss 1-D arrays with defects...
متن کاملNew elements for analysis of series arrays of superconducting junctions for submillimeter heterodyne detection
Some specific features of series arrays of superconducting junctions used as mixing elements in radioastronomical spectroscopy are analysed. The influence of the area and insulating bamer inhomogeneities between the different junctions is examined with a simple and accurate technique. It uses the variation of the maximum Josephson currents of the individual junctions as a function of an applied...
متن کاملInteractions in small systems of coupled Josephson junctions at microwave frequencies
2014 A major factor in the practical utilization of any Josephson device for microwave and higher frequency applications (such as the generation and detection of electromagnetic radiation) is the success with which the junction device can be coupled to an external transmission line. As part of an experimental investigation of the electrodynamics of small arrays of Josephson tunnel junctions, th...
متن کاملParamagnetic and diamagnetic States in two-dimensional josephson-junction arrays.
Many experiments on high-temperature superconductors have shown paramagnetic behavior when the sample is field cooled. The paramagnetism was attributed to a d-wave order parameter creating pi-junctions in the samples. However, the same effect was later discovered in traditional low-temperature superconductors and conventional Josephson-junction arrays which are s wave. By simulating both conven...
