Proximity-Coupled Systems: Quasiclassical Theory of Superconductivity

  • Chapter
Superconductivity

Abstract

Proximity Coupled Systems: Superconductivity at Interfaces is studied .Green’s function theory ,including Keldysh type ones, is used. This allows also to treat non-equilibrium superconductors. Superconducting Junctions ( SNS-type ) and Andreev Interferometers are described and discussed.
