14. We do not take into account here the supercurrent carried by the continuum of states at energies larger than the superconducting gap. In the kind of SNS junctions discussed in this paper (as well as in several other kind of junctions), their contribution to the supercurrent is negligible.

19. These undesired heating effects are well known in metals. See for instance F.C. Wellstood, C. Urbina, and J. Clarke, Phys. Rev. B 49, 5942 (1994); see also the discussion in M. Henny et al., Phys. Rev. B 59, 2871 (1999).

21. The original prediction of this effect was made by A. F. Volkov (Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 4730 (1995)) for SINIS junctions (with "I" insulating layer at the interface between N and S, acting as a tunnel barrier). See also, A. F. Volkov and H. Takayanagi, Phys. Rev. B 56, 11184 (1997) for a more general treatment. For the experiments discussed here, with highly transmissive N/S interface, see Ref. 10.
