摘要
The surface resistance and magnetic penetration depth in proximity-coupled superconductor/normal-metal (Nb/A1) bilayers are examined to study the electrodynamics of layered structures with spatially inhomogeneous superconducting order parameter. The effective penetration depth lambda(eff)(T) obeys Delta lambda(eff)(T) similar to T-eta, where n less than or equal to 1, at low temperatures, distinctly different from the exponential behavior of Nb. An accompanying drop in the surface resistance R(s) occurs in the same temperature range. A model of the bilayer electrodynamics explicitly including the effects of proximity coupling is developed, and the behavior of both lambda(eff) and R(s) is consistently described. We find that a treatment of coherence effects in the proximity-coupled normal-metal layer is necessary to properly describe the behavior of R(s)(T).
