Frequency and temperature dependence of the real part of the conductivity calculated according the BCS theory [27, 28] with the ratio of the coherence length to the mean free path . The pronounced maximum for low frequencies at a temperature slightly below is the coherence peak. The kink at corresponds to the superconducting gap that decreases with temperature and vanishes for (after [29]).
