We have fabricated symmetrical Nb o.75Zr o.25/ Oxide/ Nb o.75Zr o.25 tunnel junctions having cross type geometry. The superconducting flms constituting the electrodes of the junctions were obtained by RF magnetron sputtering, and the tunnel barrier was grown by natural oxidization in air. From the c

✦ Synopsis
From the microscopic parameters derived from tunneling for Nbo.7sZro.25 and Nb we compute and compare their thermodynamic properties using the imaginary frequency axis formulation of EIiashberg theory. While these two materials have similar critical temperatures, Nbo.zsZro.2s is found to show much larger strong coupling corrections than does Nb. The substantial increase in the gap to critical temperature ratio observed experimentally can easily be understood by functional derivative techniques.

## Measurements of the critical current J, have been made for the Nb/Nb,&,, multilayer which showed a sharp upturn behavior in a parallel upper critical field W,,,,(T), caused by the shift of the order-parameter A(r) from Nb-to NbZr-layers. In the region where A(r) is localized in the Nb-layers,
