“…Those workers were the first to confirm the theoretical prediction 3,4 that the ground-state phase difference across an S/F/S Josephson junction could be either zero or π, depending on the thickness of the ferromagnetic F-layer inside the junction. Oscillations in the magnitude of the critical current as a function of F-layer thickness, signifying oscillations between 0 and π junctions, have now been demonstrated with a wide variety of ferromagnetic materials, including CuNi alloy, 1,[5][6][7] PdNi, 2,8 Ni, 9-14 Ni 3 Al, 15 Co, 11 Fe, 11 NiFe, 11,16,17 NiFeMo, 18 PdFe, 19 and NiFeCo.…”
