- Swihart velocity
Originally, in superconducting transmission lines, the Swihart velocity is the propagation velocity of electromagnetic waves along transmission line.
Swihart velocity plays an important role in the physics of
long Josephson junction s (LJJ) that, in essence, are superconducting transmission lines with dispersion and nonlinearity due toJosephson effect . InLJJ , Swihart velocity is a characteristic velocity of propagation of electromagnetic waves (aka Josephson plasma waves), seelong Josephson junction for details. For example, the group velocity may have any value from zero up to Swihart velocity.References
