Abstract

Takano et al. [Phys. Rev. B 65, 140513 (2002); J. Low Temp. Phys. 131, 533 (2003)] made Josephson junctions from single crystal whiskers of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ crossed an angle φ0 about the c axis. From the mesa structures that formed at the cross-whisker interface, they inferred a critical current density Jc(φ0). As with the single crystal results of Li et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 4160 (1999)], we show that the whisker data are unlikely to result from a predominantly d-wave order parameter. However, unlike the single crystals, these results, if correct, require the whisker c-axis transport to be coherent.
