✦ Synopsis

The reduced specific heat jumps for the superconducting (S) side and the normal (N) side of a strongly coupled N-S composite have been calculated by using the generalized McMillan tunneling model of the superconducting proximity effect. Both cases AN = 0 and AN # 0 (where AN is the BCS interaction constant) have been stud&d. The results obtained by using the generalized model are significantly different from the ones given by the McMillan tunneling model. *Work supported in part by a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. ~See Ref. 1 for a review of the proximity effect.

The McMillan tunneling model of the superconducting proximity effect has been used to calculate the specific heat jumps on the S side and on the N side of a proximity composite. The case of the BCS interaction constant on the Nside, AN being identically zero and the case of AN r 0 have both been stu
