19 Mar 2009 | | Abstract: | We consider a fractional Josephson vortex in a long 0-kappa Josephson
junction. A uniformly applied bias current exerts a Lorentz force on the
vortex. If the bias current exceeds the critical current, an integer fluxon is
torn off the kappa-vortex and the junction switches to the voltage state.
In the presence of thermal fluctuations the escape process takes place with
finite probability already at subcritical values of the bias current.
We experimentally investigate the thermally induced escape of a fractional
vortex by high resolution measurements of the critical current as a function of
the topological charge kappa of the vortex and compare the results to numerical
simulations for finite junction lengths and to theoretical predictions for
infinite junction lengths. To study the effect caused by the junction geometry
we compare the vortex escape in annular and linear junctions. | | Source: | arXiv, 0903.3382 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
