title = "Splinter vortices at inhomogeneous asymmetric grain boundaries in YBCO films",
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.",
