Some properites of thin film aluminum superconductors for use as a megahertz second sound detector

Some properties of thin film aluminum superconductors (80-130 Å) were investigated for use as a high frequency second sound detector. The films' transition temperatures, Tc, were raised to near the lambda point of He by a surface enhancement of the BCS coupling constant. The films were useful a...
