(New York), American physical Society, 1960. Lex8vo. Volume 5, No. 4, August 15, 1960 of ""Physical Review Letters"", In the original printed blue wrappers. A very nice and clean copy externally as well as internally, near mint. Pp. 147-8. [Entire issue: 133-188].
First printing of Giaever's influential paper in which he demonstrated the existence of an energy gap in superconductors, one of the most important predictions of the BCS theory of superconductivity that had been developed in 1957 by Bardeen. Giaever was awarded the nobel prize in physics in 1973 for his ""discoveries regarding tunnelling phenomena in solids"".The present paper is regarded a contemporary classic within engineering and applied sciences.
