Direct detection of superconductivity has long been a key strength of point-contact Andreev reflection. However, its applicability to atomic-scale imaging is limited by the mechanical contact of the Andreev probe. To this end, we present a…

Andreev reflection, which corresponds to the tunneling of two electrons from a metallic lead to a superconductor lead as a Cooper pair (or vice versa), can be exploited to measure high frequency noise. A detector is proposed, which consists…

We review here a novel circuit theory of superconductivity. The existed circuit theory of Andreev reflection has been revised to account for decoherence between electrons and holes and twofold nature of the distribution function. The…
