Abstract

We consider both analytically and numerically the effect of inhomogeneity of Josephson properties of grain boundaries in YBCO thin films on unquantized (splinter) vortices. It is shown that in general a smooth inhomogeneity breaks the complementarity condition φ₁+φ₂=φ ₀ relating magnetic fluxes φ₁ and φ₂ carried by adjacent splinter vortices.
