Static and dynamic properties of fluxons in a zig-zag 0-Ï€ Josephson junction
We consider a long Josephson junction with alternating 0- and -facets with different facet lengths between the 0- and the -parts. Depending on the combinations between the 0- and the -facet lengths, an antiferromagnetically ordered semifluxons array can be the ground state of the system. Due to the fact that in that case there are two independent ground states, an externally introduced 2 fluxon will be splintered or fractionalized. The magnitude of the flux in the fractional fluxons is a function of the difference between the 0 and the -facet lengths. Here, we present an analytical calculation of the flux of splintered Josephson fluxons for any combination of 0- and -facet lengths. In the presence of an applied bias current, we show numerically that only one of the two fractional fluxons can be moved. We also consider the I–V characteristics of the ground state and the one of a 2-fluxon in a zig-zag junction
First LOFAR results on galaxy clusters
Deep radio observations of galaxy clusters have revealed the existence of
diffuse radio sources related to the presence of relativistic electrons and
weak magnetic fields in the intracluster volume. The role played by this
non-thermal intracluster component on the thermodynamical evolution of galaxy
clusters is debated, with important implications for cosmological and
astrophysical studies of the largest gravitationally bound structures of the
Universe. The low surface brightness and steep spectra of diffuse cluster radio
sources make them more easily detectable at low-frequencies. LOFAR is the first
instrument able to detect diffuse radio emission in hundreds of massive galaxy
clusters up to their formation epoch. We present the first observations of
clusters imaged by LOFAR and the huge perspectives opened by this instrument
for non-thermal cluster studies.Comment: Proceedings of the 2012 week of the French Society of Astronomy and
