Two-dimensional arrays of Josephson junctions in a magnetic field: A stability analysis of synchronized states
We report the results of a Floquet analysis of two-dimensional arrays of resistively and capacitively shunted Josephson junctions in an external transverse magnetic field. The Floquet analysis indicates stable phase locking of the active junctions over a finite range of values of the bias current and junction capacitance, even in the absence of an external load. This stable phase locking is rob...
متن کاملSynchronized States Observed in Coupled Four Oscillators
Systems of coupled oscillators are widely used as models for biological rhythmic oscillations such as human circadian rhythms[1, 2], finger movements, animal locomotion[3], swarms of fireflies that flash in synchrony, synchronous firing of cardiac pacemaker cells[5, 6], and so on. Using these coupled oscillator models, many investigators have studied the mechanism of generation of synchronous o...
متن کاملPeriodicity-controlled two-dimensional crystalline colloidal arrays.
We developed a convenient and fast approach to preparing close-packed two-dimensional (2-D) particle arrays on mercury surfaces. Addition of cosolvents, such as alcohols, to aqueous colloidal particle suspensions induces spreading and self-assembly of the particles into 2-D arrays on top of the mercury surface. We can fabricate large-area close-packed 2-D arrays (>70 cm(2)) within 30 s. We atta...
متن کاملFast and rewritable colloidal assembly via field synchronized particle swapping
We report a technique to realize reconfigurable colloidal crystals by using the controlled motion of particle defects above an externally modulated magnetic substrate. The transport of particles is induced by applying a uniform rotating magnetic field to a ferrite garnet film characterized by a periodic lattice of magnetic bubbles. For filling factor larger than one colloid per bubble domain, t...
متن کاملColloidal transport through optical tweezer arrays.
Viscously damped particles driven past an evenly spaced array of potential energy wells or barriers may become kinetically locked in to the array, or else may escape from the array. The transition between locked-in and free-running states has been predicted to depend sensitively on the ratio between the particles' size and the separation between wells. This prediction is confirmed by measuremen...
