Anomalous fluxon properties of layered superconductors
Abstract
Description
I review anomalous single and multi-fluxon properties of Stacked Josephson junctions (SJJ's). Throughout the paper I compare analytical, numerical and experimental results both for intrinsic HTSC and artificial low-$T_c$ SJJ's.
