Josephson coupling through a magnetic racetrack

Superconductivity 2026-04-15 v1

Abstract

We investigate the Josephson coupling between two superconducting electrodes connected by a ferromagnetic racetrack hosting a Bloch-like domain wall (DW). We show that the interplay between superconductivity and the DW leads to highly non-trivial spatial distributions of the supercurrent, including the formation of current loops and a strong sensitivity to the DW position and orientation. We further demonstrate that the Josephson critical current IcI_c can be efficiently controlled by the DW position along the racetrack, exhibiting pronounced variations and tunable 00--π\pi transitions. These results provide clear design principles for superconducting racetrack devices and establish domain walls as a viable control element for readout schemes in racetrack memory architectures.
