Abstract
We investigate analytically and numerically a Josephson junction on finite domain with two $\pi$-discontinuity points characterized by a jump of $\pi$ in the phase difference of the junction, i.e. a 0-$\pi$-0 Josephson junction. The system is described by a modified sine-Gordon equation. We show that there is an instability region in which semifluxons will be spontaneously generated. Using a Hamiltonian energy characterization, it is shown how the existence of static semifluxons depends on the length of the junction, the facet length, and the applied bias current. The critical eigenvalue of the semifluxons is discussed as well. Numerical simulations are presented, accompanying our analytical results.
