Intrinsic mechanism of phase locking in two-dimensional Josephson junction networks in presence of an external magnetic field

We present numerical simulations of the dynamics of two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays to study the mechanism of mutual phase locking. We show that in the presence of an external magnetic field two mechanisms are playing a role in phase locking: feedback through the external load and internal coupling between rows due to microwave currents induced by the field. We have found the parameter values (junction capacitance, cell loop inductance, impedance of the external load) for which the interplay of both these mechanisms leads to the in-phase solution. The case of unshunted arrays is discussed as well.

THEORY OF PHASE-LOCKING IN SMALL JOSEPHSON JUNCTION CELLS

Within the RSJ model, we performed a theoretical analysis of phase-locking in elementary strongly coupled Josephson junction cells. For this purpose, we developed a systematic method allowing the investigation of phase-locking in cells with small but non-vanishing loop inductance.The voltages across the junctions are found to be locked with very small phase difference for almost all values of external flux. However, the general behavior of phase-locking is found to be just contrary to that according to weak coupling. In case of strong coupling there is nearly no influence of external magnetic flux on the phases, but the locking-frequency becomes flux-dependent. The influence of parameter splitting is considered as well as the effect of small capacitive shunting of the junctions. Strongly coupled cells show synchronization even for large parameter splitting. Finally, a study of the behavior under external microwave radiation shows that the frequency locking-range becomes strongly flux-dependent, whereas the locking frequency itself turns out to be flux-independent.

Coherent States of Two-dimensional Josephson Junction Networks

We have investigated numerically the phase--locking behavior of two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays,taking into account a finite inductance ($l\stackrel{>}{\sim}1$) of the unit cell and external magnetic fields. Within this model we demonstrate the existence of multi--valued {\it I--V} curves of the network. Different branches of the {\it I--V} curve correspond to "in--phase" and "anti--phase" coherent states with high and low levels of output power, respectively. The arrays show remarkable hysteretic transitions between these states under influence of external magnetic fluxes in the range $ - Φ_0/4 < Φ_{ext} < Φ_0/4 $.

Phase-Locking in Strongly Coupled Squid Cells

Within the RSJ model we performed an analytical and numerical investigation of SQUID cells consisting of two Josephson junctions shunted by an extremely small inductance leading to strong coupling of the elements. Contrary to the well-known behavior of cells shunted by a high inductance voltage phases of the junctions are locked with very small phase difference for almost all values of external flux. Only for external flux in the vicinity of half a flux quantum phase difference rises rapidly to $π$.
