Several recent experiments revealed a change of the sign of the first harmonic in the current-phase relation of Josephson junctions (JJs) based on, e.g., $d$-wave superconductors or JJs with ferromagnetic barrier. In this situation, the role of the second harmonic can become dominant; in this case, it determines the scenario …
