Title Localization, superconducting fluctuations, and superconductivity in thin films and narrow wires of aluminum Type Journal Article
Year 1987 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B
Volume (down) 35 Issue 7 Pages 3188-3206
Keywords Al films; electron-phonon scattering; electron-electron scattering; Disordered structures; amorphous and glassy solids, Relaxation times and mean free paths, Galvanomagnetic and other magnetotransport effects
Abstract We report a comprehensive set of experiments on wide and narrow thin-film strips of aluminum which test the predictions of recent localization theory. The experiments on wide films in the two-dimensional regime confirm the theoretical predictions and also yield insight into inelastic mechanisms and spin-orbit scattering rates. Our extension of the existing theory for one-dimensional systems to include spin-orbit scattering and Maki-Thompson superconducting fluctuations is verified by the experiments. We find clear evidence for one-dimensional localization, with inferred inelastic rates identical to those in two-dimensional films. The prediction of the localization theory for a dimensional crossover from two-dimensional to one-dimensional behavior is also confirmed. We have reanalyzed the results of some previous experiments on thin films and narrow wires in light of these results.

Title Critical pair-breaking current in superconducting aluminum strips far below Tc Type Journal Article
Year 1982 Publication Phys. Rev. B Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. B
Volume (down) 26 Issue 7 Pages 3648-3655
Keywords superconducting nanowire
Abstract Critical currents of narrow, thin aluminum strips have been measured as a function of temperature. For the smallest samples uniformity of the current density is obtained over a large temperature range. Hence the intrinsic limit on the currentcarrying capacity of the superconductor was measured outside the Ginzburg-Landau -regime. The experimental values are compared with recent theoretical predictions by Kupriyanov and Lukichev. An approximate method of solving their equations is given, the results of which agree with the exact solution to within 1%. Experimental data are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. The absolute values agree if one assumes a ρl value of 4×10–16 Ωm2 with vF=1.3×106 m/s. This value for ρl is the same as that found from measurements of the anomalous skin effect but differs from values extracted from size-effect-limited resistivity.

Title Generalized diffusion equation for superconducting alloys Type Journal Article
Year 1970 Publication Phys. Rev. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.
Volume (down) 25 Issue 8 Pages 507
Keywords
Abstract Eilenberger's transportlike equations for a superconductor of type II can be simplified very much in the dirty limit. In this limit a diffusionlike equation is derived which is the generalization of the de Gennes-Maki theory for dirty superconductors to arbitrary values of the order parameter.
