Microwave-Induced Vortex Motion in Long Josephson Junctions

Experimental and theoretical studies are made of the effect of a microwave on dc current-voltage characteristics of long Josephson junctions. In the case of zero external dc current, dc voltages were observed when the microwave was applied to the junctions. By comparing the observed magnetic-field and microwave-power dependences with theoretical results, it is concluded that these dc voltages resulted from vortex motion which was induced by the applied microwave. When the junctions were in a flux-flow state caused by the external current, a good agreement between theory and experiment concerning the microwave-power and magnetic-field dependences of Shapiro steps demonstrates that an almost ideal traveling-wave type coupling between the applied microwave and a moving vortex array took place in the long Josephson junctions.

Microwave response of long intrinsic Josephson junctions fabricated on Bi-2212 single crystals

Takashi Tachiki, Takashi Uchida

The microwave response properties of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+x long intrinsic Josephson junctions have been experimentally and theoretically investigated. We fabricated a mesa structure consisting of 14 junctions, 50 μm long and 4 μm wide, and observed the microwave-induced steps in the I-V characteristics under irradiation with microwaves in the range 5–8 GHz. The step voltages were proportional to the square root of the microwave power, implying that the steps were produced by the motion of fluxons created by the microwaves. The Josephson frequency corresponding to the maximum step voltage was estimated to be 570 GHz. The step voltage decreased with increasing temperature, which can be explained by the decrease of the Swihart velocity. We performed a numerical simulation using coupled sine-Gordon equations and obtained a power dependence of the step voltage similar to the experimental result, and demonstrated standing waves of electric fields with in-phase plasma oscillation in all the junctions. These facts suggest that the steps observed in the experiment were produced by plasma resonance excited by the external microwaves.
