Point-Contact Spectroscopy

Download or read book Point-Contact Spectroscopy written by Yu.G. Naidyuk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various experimental techniques for point contact production are described. Examples of point-contact spectra are presented for pure metals, alloys and compounds, as well as for semimetals and semiconductors, heavy fermion systems, Kond-lattices, mixed valence compounds and more. Superconducting point contacts are considered in respect to Andreev reflection and Josephson effects. Special attention is paid to contact conductance fluctuation, and new trends of research are outlined.
