摘要
We have measured the ratio of the superconducting to the normal-state transmissions, TsTn, in two thin films of V3Si with a new optically pumped far-infrared laser spectrometer. The laser system gave exceptional signal-to-noise ratios with room-temperature detectors. The data could not be well fitted with the usual Mattis-Bardeen result but could be explained by the Leplae formulation which includes the effects of a finite scattering time. Our analysis gave a value 2ΔkTc=3.76±0.1 for the better of the two films (Tc=15.7 K) in good agreement with tunneling determinations and with fewer possibilities for surface problems. We observed features below the gap energy in both samples whose origin is not understood. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
