title = "Proximity effect tunneling",
abstract = "Recent work in proximity electron tunneling (PET) into NS structures is critically reviewed, emphasizing its evolution from earlier work of Tomasch, Rowell, deGennes, McMillan and others. The degree to which quantitative electron-phonon spectroscopy of superconductors S and normal metals N may be possible is investigated, with emphasis on results from foil-based CINS junction analyzed via Arnold's form of the specular theory.",

note = "Funding Information: First, by replacing the native oxide barrier (I) of the conventional C-I-S junction with a thin N-metal layer to produce a C-I-NS junction, one can hope to study {"}bad actor{"} superconductors (S). These metals cannot be evaporated successfully onto an existing insulating barrier I, nor do they oxidize readily to form an insulating barrier; thus precluding incorporation in a conventional C-I-S junction. Vanadium is one example and the list is long and important, including many strong coupling alloys and compounds of both * Operated for the US Department of Energy by Iowa State University under contract no.
