The thermodynamic properties of a mesoscopic-size, simply connected cylindrical normal metal in good metallic contact with superconducting banks are studied theoretically. It is commonly accepted that if the superconductor ...

The density of states N(ε) of a mesoscopic cylindrical structure consisting of a normal pure metal and a superconductor has been calculated using the Gorkov–Green functions. It is shown that magnetic fluxes of certain ...

Adifferential self-consistent equation has been obtained for a dimensionless magnetic flux in a NS structure, which is responsible for the magnetic moment jumps in the system.
