Abstract
The main purpose of this work is to study the influence of an applied static magnetic field on the dynamics of Josephson tunnel junctions. In order to investigate the spatial dependence of the Cooper pair phase difference (the Josephson phase), we have carried out experiments on junctions of various normalized lengths. A Josephson junction is called small if both the length L and the width W of the tunneling area are small compared to the Josephson penetration depth, λ j . We have long, quasi-onedimensional junctions if one of the physical dimensions is larger then λ j , i.e. W < < λ j < L.
