Abstract

We investigate Josephson junctions with superconducting ferropnictides, both in the diffusive and ballistic limit. We focus on the proposed s±-wave state and find that the relative phase shift intrinsic to the s±-wave state may provide 0−π oscillations in the Josephson current. This feature can be used to discriminate this pairing state from the conventional s-wave symmetry. The 0−π oscillations appear both as a function of the ratio of the interface resistances for each band and, more importantly, as a function of temperature, which greatly aids in their detection.
