The theory of the reentrant effect in susceptibility of cylindrical mesoscopic samples

A theory has been developed to explain the anomalous behavior of the magnetic susceptibility
 of a normal metal-superconductor (NS) structure in weak magnetic fields at millikelvin temperatures.
 The effect was discovered experimentally (A.C. Mota et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1514&am...

description A theory has been developed to explain the anomalous behavior of the magnetic susceptibility
 of a normal metal-superconductor (NS) structure in weak magnetic fields at millikelvin temperatures.
 The effect was discovered experimentally (A.C. Mota et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1514
 (1990)). In cylindrical superconducting samples covered with a thin normal pure metal layer, the
 susceptibility exhibited a reentrant effect: it started to increase unexpectedly when the temperature
 lowered below 100 mK. The effect was observed in mesoscopic NS structures when the N and S
 metals were in good electric contact. The theory proposed is essentially based on the properties of
 the Andreev levels in the normal metal. When the magnetic field (or temperature) changes, each
 of the Andreev levels coincides from time to time with the chemical potential of the metal. As a result,
 the state of the NS structure experiences strong degeneracy, and the quasiparticle density of
 states exhibits resonance spikes. This generates a large paramagnetic contribution to the susceptibility,
 which adds up to the diamagnetic contribution thus leading to the reentrant effect. The explanation
 proposed was obtained within the model of free electrons. The theory provides a good
 description for experimental results.
