abstract = {Josephson junctions with ferromagnetic barrier can have
positive or negative critical current depending on the
thickness d(F) of the ferromagnetic layer. Accordingly, the
Josephson phase in the ground state is equal to 0 (a
conventional or 0 junction) or to pi (pi junction). When 0
and pi segments are joined to form a "0-pi junction,"
spontaneous supercurrents around the 0-pi boundary can
appear. Here we report on the visualization of supercurrents
in superconductor-insulator-ferromagnet-superconductor
(SIFS) junctions by low-temperature scanning electron
microscopy (LTSEM). We discuss data for rectangular 0, pi,
0-pi, 0-pi-0, and 20 x (0-pi-) junctions, disk-shaped
junctions where the 0-pi boundary forms a ring, and an
annular junction with two 0-pi boundaries. Within each 0 or
pi segment the critical current density is fairly
homogeneous, as indicated both by measurements of the
magnetic field dependence of the critical current and by
LTSEM. The pi parts have critical current densities j(c)(pi)
up to 35 A/cm(2) at T = 4.2 K, which is a record value for
SIFS junctions with a NiCu F-layer so far. We also
demonstrate that SIFS technology is capable to produce
Josephson devices with a unique topology of the 0-pi
boundary.},
