Proximity-induced subgaps in andreev billiards.
We examine the density of states of an Andreev billiard and show that any billiard with a finite upper cutoff in the path length distribution P(s) will possess an energy gap on the scale of the Thouless energy. An exact quantum mechanical calculation for different Andreev billiards gives good agreement with the semiclassical predictions when the energy dependent phase shift for Andreev reflecti...
متن کاملDecreasing excitation gap in Andreev billiards by disorder scattering
We investigate the distribution of the lowest-lying energy states in a disordered Andreev billiard by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation numerically. Contrary to conventional predictions we find a decrease rather than an increase of the excitation gap relative to its clean ballistic limit. We relate this finding to the eigenvalue spectrum of the Wigner-Smith time delay matrix between suc...
متن کاملDensity of states and the energy gap in Andreev billiards
The density of states in a normal metal in contact with a superconductor is affected by the superconductor, as a manifestation of the proximity effect or Andreev reflection. In the early days of superconductivity, this effect had been observed in thin films of normal metal on a superconducting substrate. It has been shown theoretically that for clean films the spectrum of quasiparticle excitati...
متن کاملQuantum disorder and quantum chaos in Andreev billiards
We investigate the crossover from the semiclassical to the quantum description of electron energy states in a chaotic metal grain connected to a superconductor. We consider the influence of scattering-off point impurities ~quantum disorder! and of quantum diffraction ~quantum chaos! on the electron density of states. We show that both the quantum disorder and the quantum chaos open a gap near t...
متن کاملQuantum-classical correspondence in the wave functions of andreev billiards.
We present a classical and quantum mechanical study of an Andreev billiard with a chaotic normal dot. We demonstrate that the nonexact velocity reversal and the diffraction at the edges of the normal-superconductor contact render the classical dynamics of these systems mixed indicating the limitations of a widely used retracing approximation. We point out the close relation between the mixed cl...
