Abstract:
We derive boundary conditions that connect the quasiclassical propagators for superconducting
metals across magnetically active interfaces. These boundary conditions, combined with the
quasi-classical transport theory, determine the structure of the perturbed superconductivity near
such an interface, and are essential for a quantitative theory of Josephson tunneling and proximity
effects between heavy-fermion superconductors and inhomogeneous structures composed of magnetic and
superconducting materials. We discuss some qualitative features of Josephson tunneling between
conventional and unconventional superconductors.
