Phys. Rev. B 29, 6384–6386 (1984)Observation of a novel, inelastic, charge-imbalance relaxation process in superconductor—insulator—normal-metal tunnel junctions
A recently predicted inelastic charge-imbalance relaxation process associated with the proximity of a normal metal to a superconductor is confirmed through measurements of the low-voltage dc resistance of superconductor—insulator—normal-metal tunnel junctions. The process is quantitatively linked to the pair-breaking nature of the proximity effect through the measured depression in Tc caused by the normal electrode. © 1984 The American Physical Society URL:
