Abstract

In order to systematically explain the in-plane size effects for the periodical dependence of the Josephson-vortex-flow resistance on the magnetic field, we numerically explore static lattice structures of Josephson vortices in layered high-Tc superconductors with finite in-plane sizes from sub-μm to more than 10 μm by simulating slow quenching processes from high temperature under the magnetic field. The numerical results reveal that in sub-μm size the rectangular lattice is a widely spread major structure in H−T diagram and the triangular lattice is a minor one which emerges only around the specific magnetic field supplying nϕ0 per one junction area. These results suggest that sub-μm size layered high-Tc superconductors are promising for future device applications.
