Current-voltage characteristics of ds-JJs oriented along the [100] axis of YBCO exhibited up to a factor of 200 higher critical current densities than ds-JJs oriented along the [110] axis of YBCO. The critical current Ic and the IcRn product of [100]-oriented 3 μm wide ds-JJs are ∼70 μA and ∼200 μV, respectively, at 4.2 K. Rectangular arrays of up to 40 000 π-loops based on such ds-JJs were investigated using a low temperature scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope. We observed ordering of spontaneously generated half integer magnetic flux quanta in the π-loops correlated with minute spurious background magnetic fields, as well as with configurations and mutual coupling of the π-loops. We manipulated the magnetic states of the π-loops by the local application of magnetic fields using nearby planar coils. This paper paves the way for the use of π-loops in computations that are based on annealing processes.}, cin = {PGI-5}, ddc = {620}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-5-20110106}, pnm = {144 - Controlling Collective States (POF3-144) / 143 - Controlling Configuration-Based Phenomena (POF3-143)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-144 / G:(DE-HGF)POF3-143}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000457591700001}, doi = {10.1109/TASC.2019.2892078}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/860441}, }
