Spectral characteristics of a fully-superconducting SQUIPT

We consider properties of a fully superconducting variant of the superconducting quantum interference proximity transistor magnetic flux sensor. We study the density of states in a finite-size superconducting metal wire in the diffusive limit, and how it depends on the phase gradient of the order parameter. We describe the dependence on the junction length and interface transparency, and discuss properties relevant for using the structure in magnetic flux detection applications.
