Abstract

Within the framework of the sine-Gordon model of a long Josephson junction, we have calculated a threshold value of bias current density which admits capture of a fluxon by an effective potential well generated by a step of inductance in the junction. Along with a kinematic approximation, a nontrivial dynamical correction is found. We have also calculated analytically energy emitted by a fast fluxon moving past the step.
