摘要
We consider the chi(0)-dependence of the density of states inside the normal metal of a superconductor-normal metal-superconductor (SNS) junction. Here chi(0) is the phase difference of two superconductors of the junction. It is shown that in the absence of electron-electron interaction the energy dependence of the density of states has a gap which decreases as chi(0) increases and closes at chi(0) = pi. Both the analytical expressions for the chi(0)-dependence of the density of states and the results of numerical simulations are presented.
