32. The BTK parameter Z also has implicit dependence on the junction Fermi-velocity matching and thus on the superconductor's bare band structure. See, e.g., G. Deutscher and P. Nozieres, Phys. Rev. B 50, 13557 (1994).
33. 5, we estimate our contact radius a < 70 nm, satisfying the ballistic criterion a < l [26]. This criterion would be further justified if a lower-temperature p ∼ 0.3 μΩ cm [3] were used, giving l ∼ 800 nm.
