Coherent quantum phenomena in a normal cylindrical conductor with a superconducting coating

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 thickness is quite small (of the order of the coherence length), as is assume...
