摘要
The spontaneous flux generation and magnetic field modulation of the critical current in a 0-pi Josephson junction are calculated for different ratios of the junction length L to the Josephsen penetration depth lambda(J), and different ratios of the 0-junction length to the pi-junction length. These calculations apply to a Pb-YBa2Cu3O7-delta (YBCO) c-axis-oriented junction with one YBCO twin boundary, as well as other experimental systems. Measurements of such a junction can provide information on the nature of the c-axis Josephson coupling and the symmetry of the order parameter in YBCO. We find spontaneous flux even for very short symmetric 0-pi junctions, but asymmetric junctions have qualitatively different behavior.
