Abstract

The dynamic properties of a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) containing arrays of Josephson junctions in a superconducting loop, and in particular the case of a four-junction SQUID, is analyzed theoretically via computer simulations. It is shown that phase locking of Josephson junctions determines the dynamic behavior of the SQUID. In the case of a stable phase-lock state hysteretic I-V curves as well as unusual voltage-flux dependencies appear. The influence of a small spread in the Josephson junction parameters upon the stability of the phase-lock state is investigated in parameter space.
