Abstract

We theoretically investigate the behavior of Andreev interferometers with three superconducting electrodes in the current-biased regime. Our analysis allows to predict a number of interesting features of such devices, such as both hysteretic and non-hysteretic behavior, negative magnetoresistance and two different sets of singularities of the differential resistance at subgap voltages. In the non-hysteretic regime we find a pronounced voltage modulation with the magnetic flux which can be used for improving sensitivity of Andreev interferometers.
