Abstract :
A novel kinetic inductance technique has been used to screen several samples of oxide-superconductor/noble-metal thin film bilayers for a signature of the proximity effect in the noble metal. To date no evidence of significant induction of a superconducting pair potential in the normal metal has been observed.<>
