Abstract

We study theoretically a dynamics of φ0\varphi_0 junction with direct coupling between magnetic moment and Josephson current which shows features close to Kapitza pendulum. We have found that starting with oscillations along zz-axis, the character of magnetization dynamics changes crucially and stable position of magnetic moment m\vec m is realized between zz- and yy-axes depending on parameters of the system. Changes in critical current and spin-orbit interaction lead to the different stability regions for magnetization. An excellent agreement between analytical and numerical results is obtained for low values of the Josephson to magnetic energy ratio.
