Description

The reduced specific heat jumps for the superconducting (S) side and the normal (N) side of a strongly coupled N-S composite have been calculated by using the generalized McMillan tunneling model of the superconducting proximity effect. Both cases lambda/sub N/ = 0 and lambda/sub N/not = 0 (where lambda/sub N/ is the BCS interaction constant) have been studied. The results obtained by using the generalized model are significantly different from the ones given by the McMillan tunneling model
