Abstract

Fractional Josephson vortices carry a magnetic flux Φ, which is a fraction of the magnetic flux quantum Φ0≈2.07×10−15 Wb. Their properties are very different from the properties of the usual integer fluxons. In particular, fractional vortices in 0−κ Josephson junctions are pinned and have an oscillation eigenfrequency which is expected to be within the Josephson plasma gap. Using microwave spectroscopy, we investigate the dependence of the eigenfrequency of a fractional Josephson vortex on its magnetic flux Φ and on the bias current. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theory.
