Abstract

It is known that in infinitely long Josephson-junction (JJ) arrays, a perfect critical state occurs at a sufficiently large maximum JJ current density imax* and the corresponding critical current density ic* is a step function of imax*. In this work, we demonstrate by numerical calculations that a critical state can also occur in striplike JJ arrays with strong demagnetizing effects if the maximum JJ current imax is sufficiently large. However, in the striplike arrays the critical state is never perfect, with field and current profiles always containing an oscillating component. The critical current ic tends asymptotically to a linear function of imax.
