The current-voltage characteristics of Au/InOx/Pb tunnel junctions exhibit peculiar zero-bias anomalies. At low temperature the zero-bias resistance attains values that are smaller than the normal state resistance by a factor that often…
The low-temperature conductance (G) characteristics between a normal metal and a clean superconductor (S) carrying a supercurrent $I_s$ parallel to the interface is theoretically investigated. Increasing $I_s$ causes lowering and broadening…
We present a theoretical description of the differential conductance of point contacts between a normal metal and a multi-band superconductor with extended s\pm pairing symmetry. We demonstrate that the interband impurity scattering…
The conductance through a semi-infinite one-dimensional wire, partly embedded in a superconducting bulk electrode, is studied. When the electron-electron interactions within the wire are strongly repulsive, the wire effectively decouples…
We demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, that thin dirty superconductor-normal metal bilayer with resistivity of normal metal $\rho_N$ much smaller than normal-state resistivity of superconductor $\rho_S$ has unique…
We develop a theory of the conductance of superconductor/normal metal/superconductor junctions in the case where the superconducting order parameter has d-wave symmetry. At low temperature the conductance is proportional to the square root…
Experiments on hybrid superconducting normal-metal structures have revealed that even in the absence of tunnel junctions the onset of superconductivity can lead to a decrease in the electrical conductance by an amount many orders of…
It is shown that the conductance of a superconductor-normal metal-superconductor junction can exhibit a significant dependence on the phase of the superconducting order parameter in the situation when the size of the normal region of the…
Effects of impurity scatterings on the conductance in normal-metal / $d$ wave superconductor junctions are discussed by using the single-site approximation. So far, the split of the zero-bias conductance peak has been believed to be an…
We discuss the surface impedance (Z=R-iX) of a normal-metal/superconductor proximity structure taking into account the spin-dependent potential at the junction interface. Because of the spin mixing transport at the interface, odd-frequency…
We have investigated theoretically the conductance of a Normal-Superconductor point-contact in the tunnel limit and analyzed the quantum interference effects originating from the scattering of quasiparticles by point-like defects.…
Tunneling conductance spectra between a normal metal / d-wave superconductor junction under the presence of bulk impurities in the superconductor are studied. The quasiclassical theory has been applied to calculate the spatial variation of…
We investigate charge transport in two-dimensional ferromagnet/feromagnet junction on a topological insulator. The conductance across the interface depends sensitively on the directions of the magnetizations of the two ferromagnets, showing…
We investigate the electronic transport properties of a ferromagnet/normal/ferromagnet junction on the surface of a topological insulator with a gate voltage exerted on the normal segment. It is found that the conductance oscillates with…
Quantitative description of charge transport across tunneling and break-junction devices with novel superconductors encounters some problems not present, or not as severe for traditional superconducting materials. In this work, we explain…
The effect of the barrier on the proximity effect in normal-superconductor junction is analyzed. A general criterion for the barrier, though large, to be effectively transparent, is given. This criterion is applied to both the conductance…
Charge transport in the diffusive normal metal (DN) / insulator / $s$- and $% d $-wave superconductor junctions is studied in the presence of magnetic impurities in DN in the framework of the quasiclassical Usadel equations with the…
We investigate a normal metal -- superconductor (point) contact in the limit where the number of conducting channels in the metallic wire is reduced to few channels. As the effective Fermi energy drops below the gap energy, a conducting…
We study transport across a line junction lying between two orthogonal topological insulator surfaces and a superconductor which can have either s-wave (spin-singlet) or p-wave (spin-triplet) pairing symmetry. We present a formalism for…
We demonstrate that conductance anomalies can arise in a clean, adiabatic quantum point contact when a channel is partially transmitting. Even for a smooth barrier potential, backscattering induces Friedel oscillations that, via electron…
