Dynamics of Fluxon Lattice in Two Coupled Josephson Junctions
We study theoretically the dynamics of a fluxon Lattice (FL) in two coupled
Josephson junctions. We show that when the velocity of the moving FL exceeds
certain values , sharp resonances arise in the system which are
related to the excitation of the optical and acoustic collective modes. In the
interval a reconstruction of the FL occurs. We also establish that
one can excite localized nonlinear distortions (dislocations) which may
propagate through the FL and carry an arbitrary magnetic flux.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, corected typo
Energy Resolved Supercurrent between two superconductors
In this paper I study the energy resolved supercurrent of a junction
consisting of a dirty normal metal between two superconductors. I also consider
a cross geometry with two additional arms connecting the above mentioned
junction with two normal reservoirs at equal and opposite voltages. The
dependence of the supercurrent between the two superconductors on the applied
voltages is studied.Comment: revtex, 7 pages, 8 figures. accepted by Phys. Rev.
Anomalous transport in normal-superconducting and ferromagnetic-superconducting nanostructures
We have calculated the temperature dependence of the conductance variation
() of mesoscopic superconductor normal metal(S/N) structures, in
the diffusive regime, analysing both weak and strong proximity effects. We show
that in the case of a weak proximity effect there are two peaks in the
dependence of on temperature. One of them (known from previous
studies) corresponds to a temperature of order of the Thouless energy
(), and another, newly predicted maximum, occurs at a
temperature where the energy gap in the superconductor is
of order . In the limit the temperature is
determined by ( is the phase breaking length),
and not . We have also calculated the voltage dependence for a S/F structure (F is a ferromagnet) and predict non-monotonic
behaviour at voltages of order the Zeeman splitting.Comment: 6 figures. Submitted to PRB Rapid com
