We developed a virtual model of a Josephson junction series array based on a rigorous dynamic simulation and investigated coupling effect of Josephson oscillations. Our virtual model for a superconductor-insulator-normal metal-insulator-superconductor junction array reveals that a time-lag junction instability should be avoided for global synchronization in a long array with a large number of junctions. We found that the coupling between the self-generated Josephson oscillations through a microwave transmission line plays an important role in the collective synchronization of the Josephson array.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
