Defect formation in superconducting rings: external fields and finite-size effects
D. J. Weir, R. Monaco, R. J. Rivers
Consistent with the predictions of Kibble and Zurek, scaling behaviour has been seen in the production of fluxoids during temperature quenches of superconducting rings. However, de…
-biased Josephson tunnel junctions
R. Monaco, J. Mygind, V. P. Koshelets +1
The behavior of a long Josephson tunnel junction drastically depends on the distribution of the dc bias current. We investigate the case in which the bias current is fed in the cen…
Static Properties of Small Josephson Tunnel Junctions in an Oblique Magnetic Field
R. Monaco, M. Aroe, J. Mygind +1
We have carried out a detailed experimental investigation of the static properties of planar Josephson tunnel junctions in presence of a uniform external magnetic field applied in…
Static Properties of Small Josephson Tunnel Junctions in a Transverse Magnetic Field
R. Monaco, M. Aaroe, V. P. Koshelets +1
The magnetic field distribution in the barrier of small planar Josephson tunnel junctions is numerically simulated in the case when an external magnetic field is applied perpendicu…
Planar Josephson Tunnel Junctions in a Transverse Magnetic Field
R. Monaco, M. Aaroe, J. Mygind +1
Traditionally, since the discovery of the Josephson effect in 1962, the magnetic diffraction pattern of planar Josephson tunnel junctions has been recorded with the field applied i…
New Experiments for Spontaneous Vortex Formation in Josephson Tunnel Junctions
R. Monaco, M. Aaroe, J. Myging +2
It has been argued by Zurek and Kibble that the likelihood of producing defects in a continuous phase transition depends in a characteristic way on the quench rate. In this paper w…
