Abstract

An extended dressed Josephson network model is adopted to study the quantitative magnetic behaviour of three-dimensional granular systems. The model consists of a stack of collections of N concentric circular arrays of small identical Josephson junctions, each two adjacent elements of the stack being superconductively coupled by additional Josephson junctions. The low-field magnetic response of granular superconductors is simulated by means of the proposed model.
