Wemeasured the Josephson vortex flow resistance as a function ofmagnetic field applied parallel to the ab planes using annealedYBa₂Cu₃O_x intrinsic Josephson junctions having high anisotropy (~40) by oxygencontent reduction. Periodic oscillations were observed in magnetic fields above45–58 kOe, corresponding to dense-dilute boundary for Josephson vortex lattice. Theobserved period of oscillations, which agrees well with the increaseof one fluxon per two junctions (H_p= Phi ₀/2Ls), may correspond toformation of a triangular lattice of Josephson vortices as hasbeen reported by Ooi et al. for highly anisotropic (200) Bi-2212intrinsic Josephson junctions.
