โฆ Synopsis
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 studied. The detailed dependence of the normalized specific heat jumps on the McMillan parameters Fs and FN and on the transition temperature of the composite has been computed. A reasonable agreement between our theoretical values and recent experimental data of Bevolo et al. is obtained.

Metal-EuS-Al junctions and EuS/Al bilayers have been studied by superconductive tunneling. In the former, the tunnel current showed a spin-polarization up to 85%, which was attributed to the splitting of the EuS conduction band. The EuS/Al bilayers displayed a large extra Zeeman splitting in the qua
