Numerical simulations of conduction through a disordered microbridge between a normal metal and a superconductor have revealed an anomalous insensitivity of the conductance fluctuations to a magnetic field. A theory for the anomaly is…
We consider the effect of strong electron-electron attraction on superconductivity in the dilute system of the negative U-centers. They couple to the conducting electronic states and mediate attraction between electrons. We predict the…
An incoming electron is reflected back as a hole at a normal-metal-superconductor interface, a process known as Andreev reflection. We predict that there exists a universal transverse shift in this process due to the effect of spin-orbit…
Scattering of electrons due to fractons can result in a resistivity that {\it decreases} with temperature. Such a behavior also appears in real quasicrystals. If this is then attributed to fracton scattering, fracton-superconductivity would…
We investigate the properties of a system where the itinerant electrons coexist and interact with the preformed local pairs. Using the nonperturbative continuous unitary transformation technique we show that Andreev-type scattering between…
In a mesoscopic superconductor - normal metal - superconductor (SNS) heterostructure the quasiparticle distribution can be driven far from equilibrium by a voltage applied across the normal metal. This reduces the supercurrent between the…
Random matrix theory of the transition strengths is applied to transport in the strongly localized regime. The crossover distribution function between the different ensembles is derived and used to predict quantitatively the {\sl universal}…
We investigate the electronic Raman scattering in pure, quasi-one dimensional conductors with density wave ground state. In particular, we develop the theory of light-scattering on spin and charge density waves, both conventional and…
Heat conduction in one-dimensional (1D) systems is studied based on an analytical S-matrix method, which is developed in the mesoscopic electronic transport theory and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. It is found that heat conduction in…
We investigated the transport properties in a normal metal/ferromagnet/normal metal/superconductor junction based on semi-Dirac materials with inverted energy gap. With a scattering matrix approach, we show that the electron transport in…
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…
An effective mass based model accounting for the conduction band quantization in a high aspect ratio semiconductor nanotip is developed to describe injected electron transport and subsequent electron emission from the nanotip. A transfer…
The mechanism of the magnetoconductance oscillations in junctions of a ballistic semiconductor and a superconductor is discussed. The oscillations appear when both the normal and the Andreev reflection occur at the interface. The interplay…
We calculate the conductance of a quantum wire with two occupied subbands in a presence of a barrier taking into account the interaction between electrons. We extend the renormalization-group equation for the scattering matrix of the…
We present an experimental study of the diffusive transport in a normal metal near a superconducting interface, showing the re-entrance of the metallic conductance at very low temperature. This new mesoscopic regime comes in when the…
An inherent difficulty in studying mesoscopic effects in semiconductor--superconductor hybrid structures is the large Schottky barrier which often forms at the interface. A large technological effort has been invested in in improving the…
The transport through a metal-superconductor interface is governed by a special charge conversion process, the Andreev reflection, where each incident electron drags another electron with itself to form a Cooper pair. At the normal side a…
We have measured the transport properties of two mesoscopic hybrid loops composed of a normal-metal arm and a superconducting arm. The samples differed in the transmittance of the normal/superconducting interfaces. While the low…
The Landauer conductance of a two terminal device equals to the number of open modes in the weak scattering limit. What is the corresponding result if we close the system into a ring? Is it still bounded by the number of open modes? Or is…
We studied random resistor networks produced with regular structure and random distribution of edge conductances. These networks are intended to mimic crack-template-based transparent conductive films as well some random networks produced…
