Abstract
We present a systematic numerical study of the coupled one-dimensional sine -Gordon equations for a stack of 20 Josephson junctions, with junction para meters that are representative for intrinsic Josephson junctions in Bi2SrCa 2Cu2O8. Simulations were performed for zero external magnetic field. We fou nd a large variety of fluxon and antifluxon modes, often involving the exci tation of collective Josephson plasma oscillations;or cavity resonances. Re presentative states are discussed in detail.
