TLDR
In this article, a comparison between He II when the normal fluid is clamped and the superconducting state of metals leads to an extension of the two-fluid equations of London.
Abstract
A comparison between He II when the normal fluid is clamped and the superconducting state of metals leads to an extension of the two-fluid equations of London. The following consequences are discussed: (a) A nonstationary thermal emf (thermal electric effect) can exist in a superconductor, (b) a stationary potential difference (not an emf) can exist.

Anomalous behaviour of the chemical potential in superconductors with a low density of charge carriers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the behavior near T c of the chemical potential in superconductors with a dilute gas of interacting fermions, and show that at T c there exists an anomaly in the potential that distinguishes superconductor with Δ and E F of comparable magnitude from ordinary BCS superconductions (Δ ⪡ E F ).

Measurements of the Relaxation of Quasiparticle Branch Imbalance in Superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, Tinkham's theory was reviewed for lead and the characteristic time was shown to be 1.4×10−10 msec with a mean free path of about 2800 A.

Thermoelectric generation of flux in a bimetallic superconducting ring

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the thermoelectric generation of magnetic flux in a bimetallic superconducting ring whose junctions are fixed at different temperatures is described.

Thermal activation in the quantum regime and macroscopic quantum tunnelling in the thermal regime in a metabistable system consisting of a superconducting ring interrupted by a weak junction: Part I: Thermal activation in the quantum regime

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a commentary on the interpretation of thermal activation data obtained in the quantum regime of a SQUID, as discussed in part I [Bol et al., Physica B 133 (1985) 196].

Thermally induced magnetic flux in a superconducting ring

TL;DR: In this article, the thermally induced magnetic flux in a bi-metallic superconducting loop of Nb and Ta has been measured and compared with theory, however the magnitude of the flux was larger than predicted.
