Abstract
Nanophase materials composed from metal clusters embedded in an insulating (semiconducting) matrix nowadays can be prepared with a well-defined metal-cluster size independent of the metal volume fraction. The influence of metal volume fraction and metal-cluster size on the superconducting properties (critical current j c , critical magnetic field H c2, superconducting transition temperature T c ) is discussed. A new effect (sharp resistance anomaly near T c ) showing up in some nanophase materials and a model to explain this effect is presented.
