Quasiclassical Green ’ s function approach to mesoscopic superconductivity
Recent experiments on mesoscopic normal-metal–superconductor heterostructures resolve properties on length scales and at low temperatures such that the temperature is below the Thouless energy kBT ≤ ETh. We describe the properties of these systems within the framework of quasiclassical many-body techniques. Diffusive and ballistic systems are covered, both in equilibrium and nonequilibrium situ...
متن کاملBallistic superconductivity in semiconductor nanowires
Semiconductor nanowires have opened new research avenues in quantum transport owing to their confined geometry and electrostatic tunability. They have offered an exceptional testbed for superconductivity, leading to the realization of hybrid systems combining the macroscopic quantum properties of superconductors with the possibility to control charges down to a single electron. These advances b...
متن کاملStabilizing superconductivity in nanowires by coupling to dissipative environments.
We present a theory for a finite-length superconducting nanowire coupled to an environment. We show that in the absence of dissipation quantum phase slips always destroy superconductivity, even at zero temperature. Dissipation stabilizes the superconducting phase. We apply this theory to explain the "antiproximity effect" recently seen by Tian et al. in zinc nanowires.
متن کاملQuantum suppression of superconductivity in nanowires
It is of fundamental importance to establish whether there is a limit to how thin a superconducting wire can be, while retaining its superconducting character—and if there is such limit, to understand what determines it. This issue may be of practical importance in defining the limit to miniaturization of superconducting electronic circuits. Recently, a new fabrication method, called molecular ...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Green function approach to photoionization processes in atoms
We present a quantum kinetic approach for the time-resolved description of many-body e ects in photoionization processes in atoms. The method is based on the non-equilibrium Green functions formalism and solves the Keldysh/Kadano -Baym equations in second Born approximation. An approximation scheme is introduced and discussed, which provides a complete single-particle description of the continu...
