We prepared grain boundary (GB) junctions of BaFe2(As0.66P0.34)2 thin films on bicrystal [001]-tilt LSAT and MgO substrates with GB angles of θ = 45∘. The junctions show clear Josephson effects and distinct Shapiro steps under microwave irradiation. Electrical characterization shows symmetric I-V characteristics which can be described with a combination of flux-flow behavior and the resistively shunted junction (RSJ) model. A large excess current Iex is observed. Their formal ICRN product is up to 50 µV at 4.2 K, which is decreased to 11 µV when taking Iex into account. Additionally, measurements on GB junctions of Fe-buffered Ba(Fe0.9Co0.1)2As2 thin films on STO bicrystal substrates (θ = 30∘) are shown for comparison. Their asymmetric RSJ behavior exhibits a formal ICRN product of 20 µV, whereas the excess corrected value is 6.5 µV.
