Abstract:
An analog of the diaelastic effect is predicted to occur
in a small Josephson contact with Josephson vortices manifesting
itself as magnetic field induced softening of the contact shear
modulus $C(T,H)$. In addition to Fraunhofer type field
oscillations, $C(T,H)$ is found to exhibit pronounced flux driven
temperature oscillations near $T_C$.
