Abstract
A systematic study is performed of the superconductor/normal metal, superconductor/antiferromagnet, and superconductor/ferromagnet proximity effects in structures with superconducting lead layers of variable thickness. It is shown that temperature Ts of the superconducting transition in these systems behaves differently when the superconducting layer is thinned. In superconductor/antiferromagnet structures, Ts changes negligibly within the investigated range of lead layer thickness. Ratio RRR (R300 K/R10 K) of electrical resistance falls notably as the lead layer thins, which could indicate a growing contribution from surface defects. The width of superconducting transitions grows as the lead layer thins, testifying to size effects.
期刊介绍：
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics is an international peer reviewed journal published with the participation of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It presents full-text articles (regular, letters to the editor, reviews) with the most recent results in miscellaneous fields of physics and astronomy: nuclear physics, cosmic rays, condensed matter physics, plasma physics, optics and photonics, nanotechnologies, solar and astrophysics, physical applications in material sciences, life sciences, etc. Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics focuses on the most relevant multidisciplinary topics in natural sciences, both fundamental and applied. Manuscripts can be submitted in Russian and English languages and are subject to peer review. Accepted articles are usually combined in thematic issues on certain topics according to the journal editorial policy. Authors featured in the journal represent renowned scientific laboratories and institutes from different countries, including large international collaborations. There are globally recognized researchers among the authors: Nobel laureates and recipients of other awards, and members of national academies of sciences and international scientific societies.
