Current-phase relations in SIsFS junctions in the vicinity of 0-$\pi$ transition

Abstract

We consider the current-phase relation (CPR) in the Josephson junctions with complex insulator-superconductor-ferromagnetic interlayers in the vicinity of 0-$\pi$ transition. We find a strong impact of the second harmonic on CPR of the junctions. It is shown that the critical current can be kept constant in the region of 0-pi transition, while the CPR transforms through multi-valued hysteretic states depending on the relative values of tunnel transparency and magnetic thickness. Moreover, CPR in the transition region has multiple branches with distinct ground states.
