摘要
The thickness of the Meissner region rho in Au of Au-clad Nb wire has been measured down to 50 mK, in order to investigate the superconductivity in a normal metal induced by the proximity effect. The magnetic field dependence of rho and the Josephson critical current I-C through a SNS junction made of an Au-clad Nb wire have been also measured to estimate the coherence length xi(N) in Au. Above 150 mK, rho and xi(N) increase in proportion to T-1, and are independent of the mean free path l(N) in Au. Although Au is in the clean limit (l(N) > xi(N)), these results can be qualitatively interpreted by the dirty limit theory with a modification using xi(N) derived in the clean limit.
