FREE AND INDUCED VORTICES MOTION IN THE JOSEPHSON JUNCTION COUPLED WITH WAVEGUIDE

Abstract

A model for the analytic description of vortices in a system consisting of a long Josephson junction and a waveguide is formulated. For this system all types of elementary vortices and its chains are listed. The allowed range of velocities of an elementary vortex is found. It is established that a free vortex can be a fast one which moves with velocity much greater than the Swihart velocity of Josephson junction. The effect of the waveguide on the induced vortices motion is studied. It is shown that fast vortex can be generated by relatively small values of bias current density. The effect of vortex Cherenkov losses on the bias current is described.
