Abstract

The dynamics of discrete-one-dimensional parallel arrays of Josephson junctions has been studied experimentally and numerically. The energy barriers for vortex motion from cell to cell have been calculated as a function of the discreteness parameter, the ratio of the Josephson inductance to the self-inductance of the cell. The experimental data show resonances in the current-voltage characteristic, analogous to Fiske steps in a single long Josephson junction. These steps provide a novel experimental method for measuring the self-inductance of 1D parallel arrays.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
