A quantitative investigation of the effect of a close-fitting superconducting shield on the coil-factor of a solenoid

M. Aaroe, R. Monaco, J. Mygind +1

Superconducting shields are commonly used to suppress external magnetic interference. We show, that an error of almost an order of magnitude can occur in the coil-factor in realist…

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…

Spontaneous Fluxon Production in Annular Josephson Tunnel Junctions in the Presence of a Magnetic Field

R. Monaco, M. Aaroe, J. Mygind +2

We report on the spontaneous production of fluxons in the presence of a symmetry-breaking magnetic field for annular Josephson tunnel junctions during a thermal quench. The depende…

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…

Zurek-Kibble Mechanism for the Spontaneous Vortex Formation in Josephson Tunnel Junctions: New Theory and Experiment

R. Monaco, J. Mygind, M. Aaroe +2

New scaling behavior has been both predicted and observed in the spontaneous production of fluxons in quenched annular Josephson tunnel junctions as a function o…
