Using the linearized time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation, we obtain the temperature dependence of the instability line, V inst(T), where nucleation of superconductivity takes place. For sufficiently low biases, a stationary symmetric superconducting state emerges below the instability line. For higher biases, the normal phase is destroyed by the formation of a nonstationary bimodal state with two superconducting nuclei localized near the opposite terminals. The low-temperature and large-voltage behavior of the instability line is highly sensitive to the details of the inelastic relaxation mechanism in the wire. Therefore, experimental studies of Vinst(T) in NSN junctions may be used as an effective tool to access the parameters of the inelastic relaxation in the normal state."}],"publication_status":"published","type":"journal_article","publist_id":"6429","publication":"Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics","month":"01","publisher":"American Physical Society","citation":{"ista":"Serbyn M, Skvortsov M. 2013.
