摘要
We show that at zero temperature the supercurrent through the superconductor ferromagnetic-metal-superconductor (SFS) junctions does not decay exponentially with the thickness L of the junction. At large L it has a random sample-specific sign which can change with a change in temperature. In the case of mesoscopic junctions the phase of the order parameter in the ground state is a random sample-specific quantity. In the case of junctions of large area the ground-state phase difference is +/- pi/2.
