The author reviews some of the important successes achieved by Eliashberg theory in
describing the observed superconducting properties of many conventional superconductors …

We report the first systematic femtosecond pump-probe measurements of the electron-

We have calculated the ratio of the energy gap Δ 0 to the critical temperature T c for a large
number of known electron-phonon spectral densities with the use of the imaginary-axis …

Predicting the critical temperature T c of new superconductors is a notoriously difficult task,
even for electron-phonon paired superconductors, for which the theory is relatively well …

We have performed microwave measurements at 60 GHz of the surface impedance (Z s= R
s-iX s) on superconducting Nb and Pb. The temperature dependence of the complex …

This paper presents an extensive experimental and theoretical analysis of anisotropy effects
in superconducting niobium. It is concluded that anisotropy effects, especially in the …

Foreword from author; When I joined the CEA Saclay SRF group in 1989, my initial
background was physical chemistry and surface science, which I completed later on with …

We report results for the superconducting transition temperature and anisotropic energy gap
for pure niobium based on Eliashberg's equations and electron and phonon band structures …

Niobium thin films are key components of superconducting microwave resonators. Interest in
these devices has increased dramatically because of their application in quantum systems …
