Induced paramagnetic states by localized $\pi $-loops in grain boundaries

Superconductivity 2016-08-31 v1

Abstract

Recent experiments on high-temperature superconductors show paramagnetic behavior localized at grain boundaries (GB). This paramagnetism can be attributed to the presence unconventional d-wave induced π\pi-junctions. By modeling the GB as an array of π\pi and conventional Josephson junction we determine the conditions of the occurrence of the paramagnetic behavior.
