SUPERCONDUCTORS WITH PLANE BOUNDARIES,
Abstract
The Gor'kov equations are solved approximately for various geometries to obtain information about the pair wave function in the vicinity of plane boundaries. The approximation method consists of assuming a model taken constant within the superconductor, and assuming it to be close to the correct pair wave function. The equ are then solved and a new pair wave function is calculated. The model is then chosen in a self-consistant manner. The problems considered are the finite and semi-infinite superconducting slabs, and semi-infinite super conducting and normal metals in contact. The effects of the boundary conditions are dis cussed. The calculations are performed both at zero temperature and near the critical temperature. (Author)
