Shot noise in HTc superconductor quantum point contact system
Abstract
We study the electrical transport properties of a quantum point contact between a lead and a Hight Tc superconductor. For this, we use the Hamiltonian approach and non-equilibrium Green functions of the system. The electrical current and the shot noise are calculated with this formalism. We consider , , and symmetries for the pair potential. Also we explore the and symmetries describing the behavior of the ferropnictides superconductors. We found that for symmetry there is not a zero bias conductance peak and for symmetries there is a displacement of the transport properties. From shot noise and current, the Fano factor is calculated and we found that it takes values of effective charge between and , this is explained by the diffraction of quasiparticles in the contact. For the and symmetries the results show that the electrical current and the shot noise depend on the mixing coefficient, furthermore the effective electric charge can take values between 0 and , in contrast with the results obtained for wave superconductors.
