We study theoretically a dynamics of the ϕ0-Josephson junction, with direct coupling between magnetic moment and Josephson current, which shows features reminiscent of a Kapitza pendulum. We find that, starting with the magnetization along the z-axis, the character of the magnetization dynamics changes crucially as a stable position of the magnetic moment m is realized between the z-and y-axes, depending on the values of the system parameters. Changes in critical current and spin-orbit interaction lead to different stability regions for the magnetization. Excellent agreement is obtained between analytical and numerical results at low values of the Josephson-to-magnetic-energy ratio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
