14. 0 is the superconducting order parameter), in which case the influence of the magnetic field on the description of the Josephson junction is negligible.
15. A local magnetic field over the nanowire junction would, however, alter this description in more pronounced ways; see; e.g., J. Michelsen, V.S. Shumeiko, and G. Wendin, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 1098-0121 77, 184506 (2008). 10.1103/PhysRevB.77.184506
