Nonlinear features of the superconductor--ferromagnet--superconductor $\varphi_0$ Josephson junction in ferromagnetic resonance region

Abstract

We demonstrate the manifestations of the nonlinear features in magnetic dynamics and IV-characteristics of the $\varphi_0$ Josephson junction in the ferromagnetic resonance region. We show that at small values of system parameters, namely, damping, spin-orbit interaction, and Josephson to magnetic energy ratio, the magnetic dynamics is reduced to the dynamics of the scalar Duffing oscillator, driven by the Josephson oscillations. The role of increasing superconducting current in the resonance region is clarified. Shifting of the ferromagnetic resonant frequency and the reversal of its damping dependence due to nonlinearity are demonstrated by the full Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Josephson system of equations, and in its different approximations. Finally, we demonstrate the negative differential resistance in the IV--characteristics, and its correlation with the foldover effect.
