Point-contact measurements of the energy gap of lead-chalcogenide-based superconducting superlattices
Abstract
The energy gap of superconducting PbTe-PbS semiconductor superlattices has been analyzed with the help of point contacts for the first time below the critical temperature, Tc=3.9~K, and in the fluctuation region T>Tc. The size of the gap and its dependence on the temperature and field are determined by the position of the point contact inside the superlattice. 73.40.Jn, 74.25.Kc, 74.45.+c, 74.50.+r., 73.40.-c, 74.78.-w, 74.78.Fk, 74.20.Mn, 74.40.+k.-n, 74.45.+c, 74.62.Dn, 74.70.Ad
