Abstract
We have artificially varied the coupling between ultrathin layers by interposing insulating planes of in multilayers and studied the consequences of decoupling 12-Å unit cells on the superconducting properties. We find that the (midpoint) of a 12-Å/12-Å multilayer is 55 K, twice that of the corresponding alloy. decreases linearly with further separation of the unit cells, the transition width increases and shows evidence of 2D fluctuations, and the influence of a magnetic field parallel to the layers is markedly reduced.
