dc.descriptionWe present experimental studies of high quality underdamped 0, pi, and 0-pi ferromagnetic Josephson tunnel junctions of intermediate length L (lambda_J < L < 5 lambda_J, where lambda_J is the Josephson penetration depth). The junctions are fabricated as Nb/Al_2O_3/Cu_40Ni_60/Nb Superconductor-Insulator-Ferromagnet-Superconductor heterostructures. Using microwave spectroscopy, we have investigated the eigenfrequencies of 0, pi, and 0-pi Josephson junctions in the temperature range 1.9K...320mK. Harmonic, subharmonic and superharmonic pumping is observed in experiment, and the experimental data are compared with numerical simulations. Escape rate measurements without applied microwaves at temperatures T down to 20mK show that the width of the switching current histogram decreases with temperature and saturates below T=150mK. We analyze our data in the framework of the short junction model. The differences between experimental data and theoretical predictions are discussed.
