“…9,10,11,12,13 In contrast to an integer Josephson vortex (fluxon), which is a free moving soliton, a semifluxon is like a spin 1 2 particle -it is pinned at a 0-π boundary, has one of two possible polarities ± 1 2 Φ 0 and, the most important, can form the groundstate of the system. Semifluxons are very interesting non-linear objects: they can form a variety of groundstates, 14,15,16,17,18 may flip, 9,11,19 rearrange 15 or get depinned 17,20,21 by a bias current, lead to half-integer zero-field steps 20,21,22 and have a characteristic eigenfrequency. 23 Huge arrays of fractional flux quanta 9,15,16,17 were realized and predicted to have a tunable plasmon band structure 24 which can be thought of as a plasmonic crystal similar to photonic crystals.…”
