Josephson Current in S-FIF-S Junctions: Nonmonotonic Dependence on Misorientation Angle

arXiv:cond-mat/0208527 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.66.140503

Abstract

Spectra and spin structures of Andreev interface states in S-FIF-S junctions are investigated with emphasis on finite transparency and misorientation angle between in-plane magnetizations of ferromagnetic layers in a three-layer interface. It is demonstrated that the Josephson current in S-FIF-S quantum point contacts can exhibit a nonmonotonic dependence on the misorientation angle. The characteristic behavior takes place, if the pi-state is the equilibrium state of the junction in the particular case of parallel magnetizations.
