In superconductivity, a long Josephson junction (LJJ) is a Josephson junction which has one or more dimensions longer than the Josephson penetration depth . This definition is not strict. In terms of underlying model a ''short Josephson junction'' is characterized by the Josephson phase , which is only a function of time, but not of coordinates i.e. the Josephson junction is assumed to be point-like in space. In contrast, in a long Josephson junction the Josephson phase can be a function of one or two spatial coordinates, i.e., or . ==Simple model: the sine-Gordon equation== The simplest and the most frequently used model which describes the dynamics of the Josephson phase in LJJ is the so-called perturbed sine-Gordon equation. For the case of 1D LJJ it looks like: where subscripts and denote partial derivatives with respect to and , is the Josephson penetration depth, is the Josephson plasma frequency, is the so-called characteristic frequency and is the bias current density normalized to the critical current density . In the above equation, the r.h.s. is considered as perturbation. Usually for theoretical studies one uses normalized sine-Gordon equation: where spatial coordinate is normalized to the Josephson penetration depth and time is normalized to the inverse plasma frequency . The parameter is the dimensionless damping parameter ( is McCumber-Stewart parameter), and, finally, is a normalized bias current. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Long Josephson junction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
