Purpose: The purpose of this report is to present how the external magnetic field can be employed in order to precise control the kink width in the long Josephson junction. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper we concentrate on construction of the analytical kink solutions of the sine-Gordon model with the profile modified by the external magnetic field. Findings: The main findings of this article are exact solutions of the sine-Gordon model which describe the squeezed or stretched kinks. Research limitations/implications: The paper is limited to the description of the dynamics of the long Josephson junctions which are one dimensional systems with stable kink structures. Practical implications: It is expected that the possibility of control the width of the kink will find applications in future electronic devices. Originality/value: The main idea of the paper is to use some special magnetic field configurations to modulate (precisely) the properties of the Josephson junction.
