12. Arbitrary fractional vortices may also appear in a LJJ with a strong second harmonic in the current-phase relation, which can be present either intrinsically or due to a faceted grain boundary (frequently alternating regions of size (Formula presented) of negative and positive critical current). In contrast to such “splintered” vortices which were also observed experimentally

21. Since our LJJ has intermediate length, we speak here about ZFS which are better described by a multimode approach
