Abstract

Experimentally, magnetically modulated resistance (MMR) techniques are effective in ascertaining the properties of granular superconductors, which can be modeled as a network of Josephson junctions. Each junction is parametrized by a critical current, with a capacitance and resistance in parallel to account for the nonsupercurrent components. The overall current-voltage behavior of the network, in the presence of an external magnetic field, is given by a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are studied numerically. Features of interest in the simulated experiments arise from effects of the applied field on couplings, and the transitions between multiple solution classes of the differential equations. Through these simulations of the phase dynamics, details of the weak link MMR signal can be understood, the typical signal being reproduced with large enough networks.
