Abstract
Exploiting the d(x2-y2)-dominated symmetry of the high-T-c cuprates, we hav e fabricated thin film dc-pi -SQUIDs which consist of high-T-c superconduct ors only. The characteristics of the pi -SQUIDs are compared with the prope rties of standard high-T-c SQUIDs. Further we show that in superconductors the admixture of various symmetry components of the order parameter does no t have to be constant, but in general is characterized by spatial variation s.
