“ … one sees that ∆ will drop to zero

very rapidly in the barrier.

In effect, electrons in this region are not

paired and the wave function isessentially the same as in the normal state.”

Summary

Giaever’s experiment brought theorist’s

attention to tunneling.

Flux quantization showed the reality of London’s

wavefunction.

The proximity effect demonstrated that

supercurrents could exist in “non

superconductors.”
