Magnetic flux distribution in a three-dimensional inductive network of Josephson junctions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetic response of three-dimensional Josephson junction networks to constant or slowly varying external magnetic fields is studied. General equations are written for complex networks made of n elementary cubic cells, each cell containing 12 resistively shunted ideal Josephson junctions. The magnetic-flux distribution in the network is calculated numerically as a function of the external magnetic field for different values of superconducting quantum interference device parameter, network size, and external magnetic-field direction. The magnetic-flux distribution in the network is graphically shown, first for increasing and then for decreasing values of the external magnetic flux.

Numerical Investigation of a Bifurcation Problem with Free Boundaries Arising from the Physics of Josephson Junctions
A direct method for calculating the minimal length of “one-dimensional” Josephson junctions is proposed, in which the specific distribution of the magnetic flux retains its stability. Since the length of the junctions is a variable quantity, the corresponding nonlinear spectral problem as a problem with free boundaries is interpreted. The obtained results give us warranty to consider as “long”,...
متن کاملJosephson Junctions with Minimal Length
The minimal length of “one-dimensional” Josephson junctions, in which the specific bound states of the magnetic flux retain their stability is discussed numerically. Thereby, we consider as “long” every Josephson junction, in which there exists at least one nontrivial stable distribution of the magnetic flux for fixed values of all the physical and the geometrical parameters. Our results can be...
متن کاملPhase-locking in Strongly Coupled Squid Cells
Within the RSJ model we performed an analytical and numerical investigation of SQUID cells consisting of two Josephson junctions shunted by an extremely small inductance leading to strong coupling of the elements. Contrary to the well-known behavior of cells shunted by a high inductance voltage phases of the junctions are locked with very small phase difference for almost all values of external...
متن کاملCubic structures of Josephson coupled superconducting spheres: three-dimensional models of granular superconductors (*)
The transport critical current in high-Tc superconducting systems is considerably limited by the microstructural characteristics of these materials [1]. Indeed, if we schematize these systems as a collection of weakly-coupled superconducting islands, we may adopt Josephson junction network models to describe their electrodynamic response. With the aid of these models one can show that the maxim...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Josephson junction networks with coupling inhomogeneities in magnetic fields
The influence of coupling inhomogeneities on the static magnetic response of a three-dimensional 8 · 8 · 8 network of Josephson junctions is studied numerically. The inhomogeneities we consider are of two types. The first consists of an extended low-coupling-energy region in the network, the second is realized by taking the in-plane superconducting coupling energy ten times higher that the coup...
