Supercurrent and noise in point contact between two different superconductors

Superconductivity 2009-11-10 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

We show that, for a quantum point contact between two superconductors of different gap magnitudes, Andreev bound states do not exist for certain phase differences and gap ratios. Continuum states may dominate the transport, and the supercurrent noise is qualitatively different from the case of equal gaps.
