The metal films are obtained by solid phase epitaxy under ultra high-vacuum conditions, with thicknesses ranging from 600 A down to 50 A. These films are stable against temperature cycling from 350 mK up to room temperature and superconducting for thicknesses down to 100 A. Results showing a reduction of the transition temperature and variations of the critical magnetic field with decreasing film thicknesses are presented. Furthermore, for very low film thicknesses (i.e. 100 A), an intermediate plateau is observed in the resistivity versus temperature curve. The physical origin of these phenomena is briefly discussed Preparation de couches minces de 50 a 600 A d'epaisseur, stables lors de cycles thermiques de 350 mK jusqu'a la temperature ambiante et supraconducteurs pour des epaisseurs superieures a 100 A.

The monomer concentration profile ΦSF(Z) is deduced from the mean-field model for flexible chains, ΦF(Z) = Φb tanh 2(Z/RG2), by introducing an extrapolation distance D proportional to the persistence length q. We show that ΦSF(Z) = Φ b tanh2[(Z + D)/RG2] where RG is the chain radius of gyration and Φb is the bulk polymer concentration.
