Abstract

I review several problems dealing with the equilibrium behavior of classical two dimensional Josephson junction arrays in applied magnetic fields. Specific attention is given to the cases of a uniform field with average flux density per unit cell of f=0, f=1/2, f=1/q and f=1/2−1/q. Several models incorporating the effects of randomness on the Josephson array are also reviewed. These include the case of a random vortex pinning potential and its effects on vortex lattice order, and the spin glass, gauge glass, and positionally disordered array.
