We investigate the Josephson transport through ferromagnetic insulators (FIs) by taking into account the band structure of FIs explicitly. Using the recursive Green's function method, we found the formation of a π-junction in such systems. Moreover the atomic-scale 0–π oscillation is induced by increasing the thickness of FI and its oscillation period is universal, i.e., just single atomic layer. Based on these results, we show that stable π-state can be realized in junctions based on high-Tc superconductors with La2BaCuO5 barrier. Such FI-based Josephson junctions may become an element in the architecture of future quantum computers.
