Abstract
Within the framework of the self-consistent effective field approximation of the time-dependent perturbation theory, an influence of the electron tunneling on the spontaneously induced order parameters in a normal metal–superconductor hybrid structure is considered. For a normal-metal model, which does not take into account electron-electron scattering, as well as electron-phonon coupling, a critical barrier transparency, corresponding to the disappearance of superconductivity in the ground state, was obtained. The presence of incoherent excitations leads to a complex relationship between the effects of ordering, thermal fluctuations, and tunneling. Near the critical barrier transparency, this can stabilize a superconducting state in the certain temperature intervals. As a result, a reentrant superconductivity phenomenon was observed. The studied spectral properties of the hybrid structure reflect the existence of both coherent and incoherent elementary excitations.
