Abstract
To study the interaction of -wave superconductivity with spin-density waves (SDWs), we have measured a series of Josephson junctions and determined the coherence length describing the decay of the critical current with Cr thickness, . We observe a crossover in from approximately 14 nm to 4 nm as increases to 10 nm, which is consistent with a transition from commensurate to incommensurate SDWs expected for this thickness range.
