Description
High-quality aluminum films on GaAs substrates are studied experimentally. The critical temperature of superconductivity is found to increase markedly with decreasing the film thickness. The observed phenomenon is considered as a manifestation of the quantum confinement effect, which affects both the density of states and the electron–phonon interaction.
