We report on transport and tunneling measurements performed on ultra-thin Pb/Ag (strong coupled superconductor/normal metal) multilayers evaporated by quench condensation. The critical temperature and energy gap of the heterostructures…
We fabricated three-dimensional disordered Pb-Cu granular structures, with various metal compositions. The typical grain size of both metals is smaller than the superconductor and normal metal coherence lengths, thus satisfying the Cooper…

We clarify the basic faults in Fang, A.; Mi, Y. Drainage of a Thin Liquid Film between Hydrophobic Spheres: Boundary Curvature Effects. Langmuir 2014, 30, 83-89, which led to unphysical conclusions.
A comment to the authors' SRF Conference pre-print [1] was submitted by A. Gurevich to the arXiv [2]. In this response, we show that the arguments used in the comment are not valid. [1] arXiv:1309.3239 [2] arXiv:1309.5626
In recent photodoping experiments Decca et al. [PRL 85, 3708 (2000)] have observed an unusually long-ranged proximity effect between the superconducting and insulating phases of YBCO. Here we critically examine the claim in that reference…
A Comment on PRL 85, 1480 (2000) by K.R. Roos and M.C. Tringides.
Recent objections (Phys.Lett. B 637, 156) to the published Zeplin I limit (Astropart. Phys 23, 444) are shown to arise from misunderstandings of the calibration data and procedure, and a misreading of the data in one of the referenced…
In a recent paper [A.S.Alexandrov, J.Phys.:Condens.Matter 8, 6923 (1996); cond-mat/9603111], it has been suggested that there is no Cooper pairing in boson-fermion models of superconductivity. We show that this conjecture is based on an…
The very special characteristic of the proximity effect in superconductor-ferromagnet systems is the damped oscillatory behavior of the Cooper pair wave function in a ferromagnet. In some sense, this is analogous to the inhomogeneous…
We give alternative proofs to certain results in the paper "Weak limits of almost invariant projections" by using ultraproducts of operators.
The paper comments on "Quantifying long-term scientific impact". It indicates that there is a mistake of [D. S. Wang , C. Song, A. L. Barabasi, Quantifying long-term scientific impact, Science 342, 127 (2013), arXiv:1306.3293].
In a recent Letter, Serbyn et al. [A] investigated thermomagnetic effects above the superconducting transition and generalized previous works for arbitrary magnetic fields and temperatures. While the results of [A] have been confirmed in…

The authors of preprint arXiv:2009.00286 and paper Appl. Phys. Lett. 117, 130501 (2020), Y. Sivan and Y. Dubi, made several wrong and inconsistent comments on our papers [J. Phys. Chem. C 117, 16616-16631 (2013), ACS Photonics 4 (11),…
A recent publication [D.G. Jenkins, Phys. Rev. C \textbf{80}, 054303 (2009)] claims to discredit the experimental observation of two-proton decay of the (21$^+$) high-spin isomer in $^{94}$Ag [I. Mukha \emph{et al.,} Nature (London)…
The conditions of tests and calibrations described in the article E.E Kading et al. [Phys. Rev. Res. 2, 023279 (2020)] show striking flaws. The interpretation and extraction of quantitative results from this experiment are considered…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. Our basic argument on the gauge invariance presented in this paper cannot withstand the criticism which has been drawn to our attention by several colleagues.
We have fabricated quasi-two-dimensional arrays of nano-scale Pb grains coupled by an overlayer of Ag grains. Their temperature dependent resistive transitions follow predictions for an array of mesoscopic…
We have reviewed the Comment of Geyer et al. [arXiv:0708.1548] concerning our recent work [Phys. Rev. A 75, 060102 (R) (2007)], and while we disagree with their criticisms, we acknowledge them for giving us the opportunity to add…
