Why have no manifestations of the excitonic mechanism been detected in Ginzburg sandwiches

TL;DR: In this article, an exact solution of the problem of the superconducting transition temperature in a Ginzburg sandwich was obtained in the first order in a/L (where a is the interatomic distance and L is the film thickness).

Study on the transition width at gap voltage caused by the proximity effect in Nb-based Josephson junctions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculated the I-V characteristics of Nb-based Josephson junctions taking into account a spatial variation of the order parameter in the Al-layer and explained the dependence of the transition width at the gap voltage Delta Vg on the thickness of Al.

Theory for impurity scattering in a superconducting film on a normal substrate

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of impurity scattering on the transition temperature of a superconducting film of thicknessL are analyzed with the aid of a gap equation whose kernel is a solution of a linearized version of Eilenberger's transport equations.

High-resistivity SNS Josephson junctions scribed in YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta// by electron irradiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of Josephson junctions scribed in YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta (YBCO) with a high-brightness electron source are described well by conventional superconductor-normal-superconductor (SNS) theory.

Electrical properties of YBCO/Ca-YBCO/YBCO trilayer Josephson junctions using c-axis oriented films

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied electrical properties of YBCO/Y/sub 0.7/Ca/ sub 0.3/Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-x/ (Ca-YBCO)/Y-BCO trilayer junctions using c-axis oriented films.
