Abstract
In an extended weak-link supercurrent device potential wells for vortices are created by the geometric configuration of one of the superconductive electrodes and are moved from one well to another by a magnetic field applied in the plane of the junction. In one embodiment the electrode has a plurality of spaced triangular notches along one edge. The notches are asymmetric in order to insure directionality of vortex flow. Other embodiments having a pig-tail or serpentine form are also described.
