Proximity-effect tunneling study of Mg

  • 1. Westinghouse Defense and Electronic Systems Center, Baltimore, Maryland

Description

A study of electron-phonon coupling in pure Mg by means of proximity tunneling into Mg films backed by recrystallized Nb foils is reported. The results indicate that Mg in thicknesses of 20-100 A continuously covers a clean Nb surface and yield a value lambda = 0.29 +- 0.03 for the electron-phonon coupling constant. This is consistent with an as yet unobserved superconducting T/sub c/ = 0.3 mK for pure Mg
