Abstract
The effect due to the tunneling of conduction electrons into the negative- centers at the disordered metal-semiconductor interfaces on the superconductivity of metal-semiconductor eutectic alloys is considered. Gorkov's formalism is used to calculate for (i) and , (ii) . Where is the concentration of the pairing centers and is the phonon-mediated electron-electron interaction in BCS theory. Our results can qualitatively explain the increase of in Al-Si, Al-Ge, and Be-Si eutectic alloys.
