TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RESPONSE FUNCTION FOR STRONG-COUPLING AMORPHOUS BI FILMS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The temperature dependence of the electromagnetic response function I(0, 0, T) has been inferred from the temperature dependence of the kinetic inductance of thin, amorphous Bi films. For normalization purposes I(0, 0, 0) has been calculated from tunneling data with the microscopic strong-coupling theory. The results are not consistent with scaled weak-coupling theory, but instead exhibit strong-coupling effects. The calculated value of I(0, 0, 0) is approximately 40% below the BCS value for a weak-coupling superconductor, qualtiatively in agreement with determinations of I(0, 0, 0) for Pb by Kerchner and Ginsberg. The temperature dependence of I(0, 0, T) differs in the opposite direction from the BCS dependence as that observed for Pb. 1976 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
