"Collective Josephson Vortex Dynamics in
Long Josephson Junction Stacks"
Professor Ju H. Kim
Department of Physics
University of North Dakota
The motion of magnetic vortices in Josephson junctions is exploited in
various superconductor device applications. I discuss the collective
phase dynamics in conventional long Josephson junction (LJJ) stacks and
in high temperature superconductors, exhibiting intrinsic LJJ
behaviors. Using a theoretical model that accounts for both the
magnetic induction effect and the non-equilibrium effect, I discuss how
the collective motion of Josephson vortices in an intrinsic LJJ stack is
modified from a conventional LJJ stack. I discuss how this
modification of collective dynamics affects the application of high
temperature superconductors as tera-hertz oscillators.
