When a thin layer of normal (non-superconducting) material is placed between layers of superconducting material, a superconducting-normal-superconducting junction is formed. This paper considers a model for the junction based on the Ginzburg–Landau equations as the thickness of the normal layer tends to zero. The model is first derived formally by averaging the unknown variables in the normal layer. Rigorous convergence is then established, as well as an estimate for the order of convergence. Numerical results are shown for one-dimensional junctions.

In this paper, we study the Ginzburg–Landau equations for a two dimensional domain which has small size. We prove that if the domain is small, then the solution has no zero, that is no vortex. More precisely, we show that the order parameter Ψ is almost constant. Additionnally, we obtain that if the domain is a disc of small radius, then any non normal solution is symmetric and unique. Then, in the case of a slab, that is a one dimensional domain, we use the same method to derive that solutions are symmetric. The proofs use a priori estimates and the Poincaré inequality.

Following our preceding papers [1, 2] concerning semi-infinite superconducting films, we consider new a priori estimates on the exterior magnetic field h=A′(0), when (f, A) is a solution of the corresponding Ginzburg–Landau system. The main new results concern the limit as κ→∞, but we prove also the existence of a finite superheating field. We also discuss recent results [3] concerning the superheating field in the large κ limit, and show how to relate these formal solutions to suitable subsolutions and supersolutions giving the existence of a solution for h<1/√2 and κ large enough. We also analyse the same problem by variational techniques and get the existence of a locally stable solution for h<1/√2 and any κ>0.

This paper describes the effects of an asymmetric coupling in the synchronization of two spatially extended systems. Namely, we report the consequences induced by the presence of asymmetries in the coupling configuration of a pair of one-dimensional fields obeying Complex Ginzburg–Landau equations. While synchronization always occurs for large enough coupling strengths, asymmetries have the effect of enhancing synchronization and play a crucial role in setting the threshold for the appearance of the synchronized dynamics, as well as in selecting the statistical and dynamical properties of the synchronized motion. We discuss the process of synchronization in the presence of asymmetries by using some analytic expansions valid for a regime of soft spatial temporal chaos (i.e. phase turbulence regime). The influence of phase singularities that break the validity of the analysis is also discussed.
