Dislocation Tunneling Through a Pinning Point in the Superconducting and Normal States of Aluminum

Abstract

dc:description

An attempt is made to explain the tunneling suppression in the normal state data in terms of the Calderia-Leggett theory. However, using our best estimates of the relevant parameters, the calculated influence of the viscosity seems to be smaller than observed. The origin of this discrepancy is still an open question.
