M. Ikebe et al., PAULI PARAMAGNETIC EFFECT AND PARALLEL CRITICAL-FIELD OF NB AL2O3 MULTILAYERS/, Superlattices and microstructures, 21, 1997, pp. 153-156
The parallel critical field H-c2//(T) of Nb/Al2O3 multilayer supercond
uctors has been analyzed as a function of Nb layer thickness using Mak
i's theory for a two-dimensional superconductor. H-c2// was found to b
e significantly affected by tile Pauli paramagnetic effect. A reliable
estimation of the spin-orbit scattering time tau(so) was made for the
Nb layers. (C) 1997 Academic Press Limited.
