Abstract
The field dependence of the magnetic moment of square (100×100) Josephson networks was examined with the use of a SQUID magnetometer. The field dependence of the magnetic moment was found to be regular with features corresponding to integer and half-integer numbers of flux quanta per cell. At temperatures below 5.8 K, jumps in the magnetization curves associated with the entry and exit of avalanches of tens and hundreds of fluxons were observed. It was shown that the probability distribution of these processes corresponded to the theory of self-organized criticality. An avalanche character of flux motion was observed at temperatures at which the size of the fluxons did not exceed the size of the cell, that is, when a discrete vortex structure occurred.
