摘要：

Point contact spectra for contacts between Ag and two different superconductors, Nb and Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-delta, were measured as a function of temperature using a crossed wire-wedge technique (R.C. Reinertson et al., Physica BY 165&166 (1990) 1615). The temperature dependence of the zero bias resistance quantitatively agrees with predictions of the theory by Blonder, Tinkham and Klapwijk (Phys. Rev. BY 25 (1982) 4515) for normal: superconductor point contacts for all interface scattering barrier strengths observed in this study (Z = 0.3 to Z = 1.0). The zero bias temperature dependence of Ag:Nd1.85Ce0.15CUO4-delta contacts indicates a systematically higher range of barrier strengths and contact resistances than typical Ag:Nb contacts.
