73. The results of the numerical simulation can be made to be even more similar to the experimental if we assume that ij is randomly distributed in the range 0≤ ij ≤Δ (T). This can be due to the randomization of the grain Fermi energies [see J. Zhang and B. I. Shklovskii, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.70.115317 70, 115317 (2004).] However, in order not involve any additional fitting parameter, we did not assume this effect.
