Quasiparticle current in ballistic NcS'S junctions

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Nonstationary properties of ballistic constrictions NcSSNcS^{\prime}S with disordered SSS^{\prime}S electrodes are analyzed theoretically. Amplitudes of Andreev and normal reflections at the constriction are related to the solutions of a stationary Green function problem in an inhomogeneous % S^{\prime}S electrode in a dirty limit. This provides a generalization of the model of Blonder, Tinkham and Klapwijk for a spatially inhomogeneous case. The relation between quasiparticle current in NcSSNcS^{\prime}S junctions and energy spectrum of a SSS^{\prime}S proximity sandwich is found for arbitrary parameters of SS^{\prime} and SS materials and of % S^{\prime}S interface.
