Magnetic remanence of Josephson junction arrays
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work we study the magnetic remanence exhibited by Josephson junction arrays in response to an excitation with an AC magnetic field. The effect, predicted by numerical simulations to occur in a range of temperatures, is clearly seen in our tridimensional disordered arrays. We also discuss the influence of the critical current distribution on the temperature interval within which the array develops a magnetic remanence. This effect can be used to determine the critical current distribution of

Magnetic field dependence of the critical current of tridimensional YBa2Cu3O7−δ Josephson junction arrays
In this paper we determine the magnetic field dependence of the critical current of a tridimensional disordered Josephson junction array (3D-DJJA). A contactless configuration, employing measurements of the AC-susceptibility, is used to evaluate the average critical current of an array of YBa2Cu3O7−δ. The critical field necessary to switch off supercurrents through the weak links at the working...
متن کاملRemanent magnetization of high-temperature Josephson junction arrays
In this work we study the remanent magnetization exhibited by tridimensional disordered high-Tc Josephson junction arrays excited by an AC magnetic field. The effect, as predicted by numerical simulations and previously verified for a low-Tc array of Nb, occurs in a limited range of temperatures. We also show that the magnetized state can be excited and detected by two alternative experimental ...
متن کاملEvaluating the critical current magnitude and distribution width of tridimensional Josephson junction arrays
In this contribution we present a simple and effective procedure to determine the average critical current of a tridimensional disordered Josephson junction array (3DDJJA). Using a contactless configuration we evaluate the average critical current and the typical width of the distribution through the analysis of the isothermal susceptibility response to the excitation field amplitude, χAC(h). A...
متن کامل0 Resonances in one and two rows of triangular Josephson junction cells
We present an experimental and analytical study of resonances in the current-voltage characteristics of single and double row triangular Josephson arrays. The magnetic field dependences of the voltage positions of the resonances have been measured for various cell inductances and junction critical currents. In double row arrays, we have observed a peculiar resonance, whose voltage position decr...
متن کاملDuality in Josephson Junction Arrays
Various properties of mesoscopic two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to structure of the topological excitations, charges and vortices, which are shown to be dual to each other. This duality persists in the presence of external magnetic fields and offset charges, which influence vortices and charges in an equivalent way. A double-layer junction a...
