Appearance and origin of resonance phenomena have been studied in the annular system of underdamped Josephson junctions. If no fluxon is trapped in the system, dynamics is governed by the motion of fluxon-antifluxon pairs, while if trapped…

We study a diffusive superconductor - normal metal - superconductor (SNS) junction in an external magnetic field. In the limit of a long junction, we find that the form of the dependence of the Josephson current on the field and on the…
Josephson tunneling across a planar junction generally depends on the relative twist angle, $\theta$, between the two layers. However, if under a discrete rotation, the order parameter in one layer is odd and the other is even (as, e.g.,…
