Since the separation of the different CeCoIn55{}_{5}start_FLOATSUBSCRIPT 5 end_FLOATSUBSCRIPT layers is larger than the perpendicular coherence length, the interlayer Josephson coupling is weak, and can be ignored. This approach was used in Resnick et al. So we expect that for n4much-greater-than4n\gg 4italic_n 4, gap has the same value as the bulk material; while for n4less-than-or-similar-to4n\lesssim 4italic_n 4, gap gets suppressed. N.E.
