Abstract
The current-phase relation for a short Josephson junction placed in the nonuniform field of a small ferromagnetic particle is studied. The effect of the particle produced on the junction appears to be strong due to the formation of the pair of oppositely directed Abrikosov vortices which pierce the thin-film superconducting electrode and cause a small-scale inhomogeneity of Josephson phase difference. The induced phase-difference inhomogeneity is shown to result in the nonzero fixed phase drop φ0 across the junction. The equilibrium value φ0 corresponding to the ground state of the junction depends on the configuration of the vortex-antivortex pair. The possibility to tune the ground-state phase difference φ0 is discussed.
