Interaction of Josephson vortices with a chain of trapped Abrikosov vortices in a long Josephson tunnel junction

The sets of peaks of the dependence of the Josephson critical current (Ic) on the external magnetic field applied parallel to the plane of the junction (H parallel) were found for the long Josephson tunnel junction with the chain of trapped misaligned dipole Abrikosov vortices. In addition, the value of Ic in the main maximum of the Ic(H parallel) curve increased with decreasing distance between A-vortices. The effects obtained are convincing evidence for the existence of the pinning of Josephson vortices by misaligned dipole A-vortices. (orig.)
