Fluxon Dynamics of a Long Josephson Junction with Two-gap Superconductors
We investigate the phase dynamics of a long Josephson junction (LJJ) with
two-gap superconductors. In this junction, two channels for tunneling between
the adjacent superconductor (S) layers as well as one interband channel within
each S layer are available for a Cooper pair. Due to the interplay between the
conventional and interband Josephson effects, the LJJ can exhibit unusual phase
dynamics. Accounting for excitation of a stable 2-phase texture arising
from the interband Josephson effect, we find that the critical current between
the S layers may become both spatially and temporally modulated. The spatial
critical current modulation behaves as either a potential well or barrier,
depending on the symmetry of superconducting order parameter, and modifies the
Josephson vortex trajectories. We find that these changes in phase dynamics
result in emission of electromagnetic waves as the Josephson vortex passes
through the region of the 2-phase texture. We discuss the effects of this
radiation emission on the current-voltage characteristics of the junction.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
Semiclassical Field Theory Approach to Quantum Chaos
We construct a field theory to describe energy averaged quantum statistical
properties of systems which are chaotic in their classical limit. An expression
for the generating function of general statistical correlators is presented in
the form of a functional supermatrix nonlinear -model where the
effective action involves the evolution operator of the classical dynamics.
Low-lying degrees of freedom of the field theory are shown to reflect the
irreversible classical dynamics describing relaxation of phase space
distributions. The validity of this approach is investigated over a wide range
of energy scales. As well as recovering the universal long-time behavior
characteristic of random matrix ensembles, this approach accounts correctly for
the short-time limit yielding results which agree with the diagonal
approximation of periodic orbit theory.Comment: uuencoded file, 21 pages, latex, one eps figur
