The quasi-bound states of a superconducting quantum dot that is weakly coupled to a normal metal appear as resonances in the Andreev reflection probability, measured via the differential conductance. We study the evolution of these Andreev…
When a normal metal $N$ is sandwiched between two superconductors, the energy gaps in the latter act as walls that confine electrons in $N$ in a square-well potential. If the voltage $V$ across $N$ is finite, an electron injected into the…

In a point contact NS junction, perfect Andreev reflection occurs over a range of voltages equal to the superconducting energy gap, producing an excess current of $I_{exc} = (4/3)(2e\Delta/h)$. If the superconductor has a finite width,…
We investigate theoretically the simultaneous tunneling of two electrons from a superconductor into a normal metal at low temperatures and voltages. Such an emission process is shown to be equivalent to the Andreev reflection of an incident…
