We report on the measurement of multiple Andreev resonances at atomic size
point contacts between two superconducting nanostructures of Pb under magnetic
fields higher than the bulk critical field, where superconductivity is
restricted to a mesoscopic region near the contact. The small number of
conduction channels in this type of contacts permits a quantitative comparison
with theory through the whole field range. We discuss in detail the physical
properties of our structure, in which the normal bulk electrodes induce a
proximity effect into the mesoscopic superconducting part.Comment: 4 page
