✦ Synopsis

We have investigated superconducting properties of aluminum thin films with periodically modulated regions of different transition temperatures (Tc). These samples are made by microlithography and reactive ion etching techniques. They provide a simple and flexible alternative to metallic superlattices previously used in studying the effects of periodicity and anisotropy on superconductivity.

Results indicate that these films show global superconducting behavior with properties determined by modulation length scales.
