Квантовый размерный эффект и критическая температура тонких плёнок алюминия

Abstract

New effects appear in superconductors with the reduction of their size, for example, changing of critical temperature Tc. Despite the number of existing works, there is still no generally accepted conception about the nature of this effect. It is clear, this is mechanism influenced by many factors, one of them is quantum size effect. We present the result of the investigation of aluminum films and demonstrate the presence of quantum-confinement pro-cess that was not considered earlier.
