Electronic transport in nanoscale superconductor-ferromagnet (SF) contacts at very low temperature is studied in order to identify non-local Andreev bound states. The samples consist of two parallel ferromagnetic film strips between superconducting leads. The strips are magnetized to exhibit a magnetic field which discourages direct Andreev reflection at the respective SF - interfaces. However, if the magnatization is antiparallel and the distances sufficiently small, the setup allows for a non-local reflection of the electrons in one strip to holes in the other strips and vice versa. This way, a bound state may form, giving rise to a Josephson current across the junction.
