▎ 摘  要

We study theoretically the supercurrent through a superconductor/ferromagnetic zigzag graphene nanoribbon/superconductor junction by the Matsubara Green function method. The transformation of the supercurrent between the 0 and pi states is remarkably realized in this Josephson junction by the combination of the uniaxial strain and gate-controlled barrier potential. Such strain-induced 0-pi transition is found to result from the dependence of the effective Fermi velocity on the uniaxial strain in the graphene nanoribbon modulated by mechanical approaches.
