Heat transport in proximity structures.
We study heat and charge transport through a normal diffusive wire coupled with a superconducting wire over the region smaller than the coherence length. Because of partial Andreev reflection of quasiparticles from the interface, the subgap thermal flow is essentially suppressed and approaches zero along with energy, which is specific for diffusive structures. Whereas the electric conductance s...
متن کاملSuperconducting phase coherent electron transport in proximity conical ferromagnets.
We report superconducting phase-periodic conductance oscillations in ferromagnetic wires with interfaces to conventional superconductors. The ferromagnetic wires were made of Ho, a conical ferromagnet. The distance between the interfaces was much larger than the singlet superconducting penetration depth. We explain the observed oscillations as due to the long-range penetration of an unusual hel...
متن کاملLow-Energy Coherent Transport in Metallic Carbon Nanotube Junctions
We study the low-energy electronic properties of a junction made of two crossed metallic carbon nanotubes of general chiralities. We derive a tight-binding tunneling matrix element that couples low-energy states on the two tubes, which allows us to calculate the contact conductance of the junction. We find that the intrinsic asymmetries of the junction cause the forwardand backward-hopping prob...
متن کاملVisualization of Coherent Structures of Light Transport
The radiance structure inside the glass sphere (Figure 1) results from total internal reflection that allows light to reach points that are otherwise in shadow due to refraction perturbing light paths towards the center. The hard boundaries of these structures mark the narrow stripes where light travels around the sphere several times by total internal reflection, after it just managed to enter...
متن کاملCoherent single charge transport in molecular-scale silicon nanowires.
We report low-temperature electrical transport studies of chemically synthesized, molecular-scale silicon nanowires. Individual nanowires exhibit Coulomb blockade oscillations characteristic of charge addition to a single nanostructure on length scales up to at least 400 nm. Studies also demonstrate coherent charge transport through discrete single particle quantum levels extending across whole...
