Induced paramagnetic states by localized $\pi$-loops in grain boundaries

Recent experiments on high-temperature superconductors show paramagnetic behavior localized at grain boundaries (GB). This paramagnetism can be attributed to the presence unconventional d-wave induced $\pi$-junctions. By modeling the GB as an array of $\pi$ and conventional Josephson junction we determine the conditions of the occurrence of the paramagnetic behavior.
