Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In the framework of the model of multiple Andreev reflections of quasiparticles (Averin-Bardas model) the current-voltage characteristics and the dI/dV-spectra of dynamic conductivity of ballistic contacts “superconductor - normal metal - superconductor” (SNS) in high transparency mode (for D = 0,9÷0,98) were calculated. In this mode the energy gap of superconductors comprising SNS-contact is oscillatory in the energy range 60-100 meV due to the strong electron-phonon interaction. The features of subharmonic gap structures are revealed in the considered contacts at voltages V4 = 2Δ/4e, VS=2Δ/5e, V6=2Δ/6e and V7=2Δ/7e as transforming minimums into maximums at the increase of transparency coefficient from 0,9 to 0,98 (or reduction of the barrier height from 0,33 to 0,144). The results satisfactorily correlate with experimental data.
