45. These values correspond to values for the ferromagnetic semiconductor, EuS in Ref. 40.
46. The situation is analogous to a pinhole junction, with phase bias Φ=υ, in which case the bound states are at ±Δ cos(Φ/2). The Only difference is that the normal-state transmission probability, D, can take any value, while in the case of the phase-biased pinhole D = 1.
