TLDR
In this article, a simple prediction for the temperature dependence of the d-c supercurrent is shown to follow from the theory of the thermodynamic Green's function, which allows generalization to superconductors with strong electron-phonon coupling.Abstract:
Josephson's calculations showed that for two superconductors separated by an oxide there may exist an osciliating supercurrent of frequency 2e V/h (V is applied voltage) and a possible d-c supercurrent at zero voltage. The calculations are reproduced by the method of the thermodynamic Green's function that allows generalization to superconductors with strong electron-phonon coupling. A simple prediction for the temperature dependence of the d-c supercurrent is shown to follow from the theory. (D.C.W.)read more

Opportunities for mesoscopics in thermometry and refrigeration: Physics and applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the thermal properties of mesoscopic structures is presented based on the concept of electron energy distribution, and, in particular, on controlling and probing it, and an immediate application of solidstate refrigeration and thermometry is in ultrasensitive radiation detection, which is discussed in depth.

The flux-line lattice in superconductors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the properties of the triangular flux-line lattice (FLL), which is more or less perturbed by material inhomogeneities that pin the flux lines, and also by thermal fluctuations.

Tunnelling effects on surface bound states in unconventional superconductors
Satoshi Kashiwaya,Yukio Tanaka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is clarified theoretically that the observed ZBCPs reflect the formation of zero-energy states on the surface due to the?-phase shift of internal phase in the d-wave pairing symmetry.
