Superconducting helix penetration

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on modeling the penetration of supercurrents in superconductors using bosons, particularly in the context of the giant proximity effect. The idea of employing a helical model to represent the interface between superconductors and normal conducting materials is proposed, likening it to a drill head penetrating wood. The conversation also questions the differences between this proposed model and the traditional Josephson effect, specifically in relation to underdoped cuprates.

In the giant proximity effect of superconductors, the penetrating supercurrent can be modeled using bosons. During some project work, modeling this phenomena Using vortices, I was thinking, whether the bosons can penetrate the interface of the normal conducting material being modeled by a helix, or a cork screw motion, just like a drill head would penetrate into a lump of wood? Could this be a possible model??

You have to describe the model. A model is different from an analogy.

If there is a model that I'm missing, how is it different from that of the regular Josphson effect? And does it work only when N is an underdoped cuprate?
