Contribution of Processes in SN Electrodes to the Transport Properties of SN-N-NS Josephson Junctions.

In this paper, we present a theoretical study of electronic transport in planar Josephson Superconductor-Normal Metal-Superconductor (SN-N-NS) bridges with arbitrary transparency of the SN interfaces. We formulate and solve the two-dimensional problem of finding the spatial distribution of the supercurrent in the SN electrodes. This allows us to determine the scale of the weak coupling region in the SN-N-NS bridges, i.
