Field Theory of Mesoscopic Fluctuations in Superconductor/Normal-Metal Systems
Thermodynamic and transport properties of mesoscopic conductors are strongly influenced by the proximity of a superconductor: An interplay between the large scale quantum coherent wave functions in the normal mesoscopic and the superconducting region, respectively, leads to unusual mechanisms of quantum interference. These manifest themselves in both the mean and the mesoscopic fluctuation beha...
متن کاملAnomalous proximity effect in mesoscopic normal-metal–superconductor structures
Anomalous corrections to the resistance have been found in mesoscopic normal-metal–superconductor ~NS! structures below TC . They differ from those described by the classical ‘‘proximity’’ theory in sensitivity to magnetic field, temperature, and rf irradiation. Contrary to the case of the classical proximity effect the anomalous corrections can be both positive and negative. A possible model w...
متن کاملConductance Suppression in Normal Metal-superconductor Mesoscopic Strucutres
Using a scattering matrix approach and quasiclassical Green's function technique, we calculate the conductance of the S/N system (see Fig.1). We establish that the difference between the su-perconducting and normal state conductance (δG = Gs − Gn) is negative for large S/N interface resistances (R S/N) and changes sign with decreasing R S/N. The comparision of the results obtained with experime...
متن کاملPhase states of multiterminal mesoscopic normal-metal-superconductor structures.
We study a mesoscopic normal-metal structure with four superconducting contacts, two of which are joined into a loop. The structure undergoes transitions between three (meta)stable states, with different phase configurations triggered by nonequilibrium conditions. These transitions result in spectacular changes in the magnetoresistance. We find a qualitative agreement between the experiments an...
متن کاملManifestly non-Gaussian fluctuations in superconductor-normal metal tunnel nanostructures.
We propose a mesoscopic setup which exhibits strong and manifestly non-Gaussian fluctuations of energy and temperature when suitably driven out of equilibrium. The setup consists of a normal metal island (N) coupled by tunnel junctions (I) to two superconducting leads (S), forming a SINIS structure, and is biased near the threshold voltage for quasiparticle tunneling, eV≈2Δ. The fluctuations ca...
