In this paper, the properties of layered structures of superconducting (and non-superconducting) materials are studied, with emphasis on the related boundary value problems, and theoretical interpretations are proposed for them.

Magnetic field dependence of JC in SNS junctions

TL;DR: In this paper, critical currents for triple layer superconducting-normal metal-superconducting (SNS) junctions have been measured with the normal metal in the thick clean limit in order to determine the spatial variation of the order paremeter as a function of magnetic field (H).

Upper critical fields in superconductor–normal metal type superlattices in the Ginzburg–Landau approximation

TL;DR: In this paper, the application of Ginzburg-Landau theory to superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) superlattices is considered in the case when normal and superconducting layers have the same thickness.

The transition temperature of CuCr/Pb proximity sandwiches in the cooper limit

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature dependence of the conduction electron spin-flip lifetime in CuCr Kondo alloys can be determined from Tc measurements in the CuCr/Pb proximity sandwiches.

Normal persistent currents in proximity-effect bilayers

TL;DR: The contribution of superconducting fluctuations to the mesoscopic persistent current of an ensemble of rings in contact with a normal one was calculated in this article, showing that the superconducted transition temperature of the bilayer decays very quickly with the increase of the relative width of the normal layer.

Mixed state in a superlattice

TL;DR: In this paper, the Gibbs free energy of an inhomogeneous superconductor is calculated in terms of the vortex solutions of both square lattice or triangle lattice symmetry, and the effective Ginzburg-Landau parameter, K NS, for this superlattice is determined as K NS = 0.218 by requiring a consistency between the microscopic and macroscopic theoretical calculations.
