Pinning of solitons by Abrikosov vortices in distributed Josephson junctions
Aslamazov L. G. , Gurovich E. V.
In a distributed Josephson junction the presence of an Abrikosov vortex in the superconducting film leads to a new type of perturbation of the sine-Gordon equation. This inhomogeneity makes it possible to distinguish the polarity of solitons and leads to several physical effects that can be observed experimentally.
