超导$π$环超材料

Superconducting $π$-ring metamaterials

Derek Michael Forrester, Karl E. Kürten, Feodor V. Kusmartsev

摘要:

我们发展了分形超材料的概念,它由纳米和微米尺寸的环阵列组成,这些环包含约瑟夫森结,在这种人工材料中扮演“原子”的角色。我们表明,如果一些结有$π$ -位移的约瑟夫森阶段的“原子”成为磁性和他们的阵列可以有调整的积极或消极的磁导率。每个单独的“$π$环”--具有一个$π$结的约瑟夫森环--可以处于两种能量简并磁态之一,其中超导电流以顺时针或逆时针方向流动。这导致分别指向下或向上的磁矩。这种超材料的总磁化强度的值可以显示分形特征。我们描述了这种超导超材料的磁特性,包括其中的磁场分布(即在由这些环组成的网络中)。我们还描述了磁通量渗透到约瑟夫森网络的方式,以及它是如何强烈地依赖于系统的几何形状。

英文摘要:

We develop the concept of fractal metamaterials which consist of arrays of nano and micron sized rings containing Josephson junctions which play the role of "atoms" in such artificial materials. We show that if some of the junctions have $π$-shifts in the Josephson phases that the "atoms" become magnetic and their arrays can have tuned positive or negative permeabilty. Each individual "$π$-ring" - the Josephson ring with one $π$-junction - can be in one of two energetically degenerate magnetic states in which the supercurrent flows in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. This results in magnetic moments that point downwards or upwards, respectively. The value of the total magnetization of such a metamaterial may display fractal features. We describe the magnetic properties of such superconducting metamaterials, including the magnetic field distribution in them (i.e. in the network that is made up of these rings). We also describe the way that the magnetic flux penetrates into the Josephson network and how it is strongly dependent on the geometry of the system.
