Se. Shafranjuk et al., SUBBANDS OF PLASMON AND VORTEX EXCITATIONS SPECTRA IN A FLUXON LATTICE OF A LAYERED SUPERCONDUCTOR, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 293(1-4), 1997, pp. 96-100
The oscillation modes of fluxon lattice in a layered superconductor un
der applied parallel constant magnetic field are examined within a mod
el of stacked Josephson junctions. To find an analytical solution, we
use a simple model assuming that phi(n,n+1) alpha chi within period of
the vortex lattice along the a-direction in the ab-plane. For a parti
cular case, the dispersion law for the vortex and plasma elementary os
cillations, Omega(k), is obtained analytically. The result for the spe
ctrum corresponds to three branches of Omega(k)(1,2,3) having regions
of negative group velocity and are separated by gaps. (C) 1997 Elsevie
