Nonequilibrium superconductor states in the case of ''narrow'' nonequilibrium sources
Stationary nonequilibrium states of superconductors are examined when nonequilibrium is caused by the effect of a microwave electromagnetic field of frequency ..cap omega..>2..delta.. as well as tunnel injection of excitations in a S--I--S contact at the voltage V>2..delta../e (..delta.. is the magnitude of the superconductor energy gap). Solutions of the kinetic equations for the nonequilibrium quasiparticle distribution function f/sub epsilon/ are obtained by numerical methods. Cases when an analytic solution is impossible (strong nonequilibrium) are examined and analyzed in detail. The spectral dependences of such quantities as ultrasound attenuation in a nonequilibrium superconductor and generation of ''2..delta.. phonons'' are investigated. The self-blocking effect of the tunnel current in a nonsymmetric S/sub 1/--I--S/sub 2/ tunnel contact is examined.
