54. The presence of well-pronounced zero-energy peak in the surface LDOS does not inevitably mean the large height of the ZBCP. For thick junctions only active tunneling trajectories, focused within a narrow cone around the surface normal, contribute to the conductance. This can strongly reduce the ZBCP (as well as the impurity peaks), with respect to the background level.
