โฆ Synopsis
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 quasiparticle density of states in Al due to the exchange interaction between the conduction electrons and the localized and spontaneousely ordered EL?+ moments. From the dependence of this internal (exchange) field on the Al film thickness, the exchange constant was found to be about 13 meV.

We report measurements of the four terminal temperature dependent resistance of narrow Au wires implanted with 100 ppm Fe impurities in proximity to superconducting Al films. The wires show an initial decrease in resistance as the temperature is lowered through the superconducting transition of the
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
