Giant thermoemf in multiterminal superconductor/normal metal mesoscopic structures

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We considered a mesoscopic superconductor/normal metal (S/N) structure in which the N reservoirs are maintained at different temperatures. It is shown that in the absence of current between the N reservoirs a voltage difference VTV_{T} arises between the superconducting and normal conductors. The voltage VTV_{T} oscillates with increasing phase difference ϕ\phi between the superconductors, and its magnitude does not depend on the small parameter (T/ϵF).(T/\epsilon_{F}).
