Abstract
It is demonstrated that in
superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor (S/F/S) systems in the case of low
interface transparency the transition into π -phase is not related with
the oscillations of the superconducting order parameter in F-layer. In
consequence the π -phase may exist at very thin F-layer thickness. The
crossover from π -to 0-phase results in the non-monotonous temperature
dependence of the critical current.
