Free vortex-antivortex states in hollow cylindrical Josephson tunnel junction

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

With the use of a hollow cylindrical Nb-Nb/sub x/-Sn Josephson tunneling junction, dynamic vortex motion was studied by the flux-flow voltage across the junction. The junction voltage versus applied axial magnetic field characteristics in the presence of the axial trapped flux in the junction showed the first evidence for the free vortex and antivortex trains moving in opposite directions and passing through each other.
