Abstract
The fluxon structure in a layered superconductor under an applied para llel constant magnetic field is examined within the model of stacked J osephson junctions. The interlayer phase difference phi(n,n+1) which i s found as a solution of the system of nonlinear equations, correspond s to buckled chains of fluxons, alternating with the field strength. T he calculated phi(n,n+1) is then used to obtain the spectrum of vortex and plasma small oscillations that has a fine band structure showing gaps.
