The unconventional pairing symmetry of the high temperature superconductors provides the opportunity to realize novel Josephson quantum-structures, characterized by build-in π-phase shifts. Such elements are of interest for basic studies and have also been proposed as new components in superconducting (quantum)-electronics. Under certain conditions these structures display intriguing effects, such as the spontaneous formation of magnetic half-flux quanta. Using thin film Josephson contacts between high-Tc and low-Tc superconductors, we have been able to construct arrays of coupled half-flux quanta, in various geometries. The flux states of these structures have been investigated by scanning SQUID microscopy.
