Asymptotic states in long Josephson junctions in an external magnetic field

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Asymptotic states in long Josephson junctions are investigated in an external magnetic field. We show that a choice one of the solution of the stationary Ferrell-Prange equation can carry be out with use of an asymptotic solution of the sine-Gordon equation and that an evolution to that stable solution occurs by passing through metastable states, which is determined with a form of quickly damped initial perturbation. The boundary sine-Gordon and Ferrell-Prange problems were carried out with a numerical simulation. An approximated expression for the vortex and antivortex states is obtained in the case of large values of an external magnetic field.
