Fluctuation spectroscopy of granularity in superconducting structures

IV Lerner, AA Varlamov, VM Vinokur - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
We suggest to use “fluctuation spectroscopy “as a method to detect granularity in a
disordered metal close to a superconducting transition. We show that with lowering …

Weak localization in metallic granular media

YM Blanter, VM Vinokur, LI Glazman - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2006 - APS
