At a surface between electromagnetic media the Maxwell equations allow either the usual boundary conditions, or exactly one alternative: continuity of E(perpendicular), H(perpendicular), D(parallel), B(parallel). These `flipped' conditions…
We study Andreev reflection in a ballistic one-dimensional channel coupled in parallel to a superconductor via a tunnel barrier of finite length $L$. The dependence of the low-energy Andreev reflection probability $R_A$ on $L$ reveals the…
This work examines $\Delta_T$ noise in two-terminal hybrid nanostructures featuring a quantum point contact (QPC), realized either between two normal metals (NQN) or between a normal metal and a superconductor (NQS). The inclusion of a QPC…
We have studied theoretically the tunneling between two edges of Quantum Hall liquids (QHL) of different filling factors, $\nu_{0,1}=1/(2 m_{0,1}+1)$, with $m_0 \geq m_1\geq 0$, through two separate point contacts in the geometry of…
