Abstract

We discuss experimental evidence of nonlocality in superconducting nanostructures: the variation of the magnitude of the order parameter Δ(r) induces a response at a remote point r′. It is shown that reasonable agreement with experiment can be achieved by assuming nonlocal integral relation between Δ(r) and Δ(r′) with the kernel function K(r,r′)∝(1/|r−r′|)exp(−|r−r′|/ξΔ). Numerically the correlation length ξΔ is close to the effective Pippard’s coherence length 0.18ξ0Pip, while its dependence on the critical temperature Tc is different than the conventional diverging behavior at the critical point T→Tc.
