摘要
To reveal the influence of the exchange interaction on the Josephson effect, the de Josephson current in unconventional -superconductor/ferromagnet/unconventional-superconductor junctions is studied. When the two superconductors have cl-wave symmetry, the Josephson current is drastically suppressed with the increase in exchange interaction. On the other band, when the two superconductors have different parities, e.g., s-wave and p-wave; an enhancement of the Josephson current is realized with the increment of the exchange interaction due to the break down of SU(2) symmetry in the spin space.
