Interference of electronic waves undergoing Andreev reflection in diffusive conductors determines the energy profile of the conductance on the scale of the Thouless energy. A similar dependence exists in the current noise, but its behavior…
An arrangement of mesoscopic experiments is considered when the conductance of a mesoscopic normal metal sample is governed not only by the magnetic flux threading the sample but by the supercurrent inside the superconductor coupled to the…
Motivated by the unique dispersions close to the two dimensional band crossing in a topologically charged nodal surface semimetal (NSSM) spectrum, we perform theoretical analysis of quantum tunnelling through a junction consisting of such…
We studied SNS- and S-N-S-N-...-S contacts (where S - superconductor, N - normal metal) formed by "break-junction" technique in polycrystalline Sm$_{1-x}$Th$_x$OFeAs superconductor samples with critical temperatures $T_C = (34 \div 45)$ K.…
We explore transport properties of a normal metal-superconductor-normal metal (NSN) junction, where the superconducting region supports mixed singlet and chiral triplet pairings. We show that in the subgapped regime when the chiral triplet…
We study two different superconductor-ferromagnet (S/F) structures. We consider first a Josephson junction which consists of two S/F bilayers separated by an insulating layer. We show that for an antiparallel alignment of the magnetization…
We have measured the electrical transport of submicron ferromagnets (Ni) in contact with a mesoscopic superconductor (Al) for a range of interface resistances. In the geometry measured, the interface and the ferromagnet are measured…
We study resonant transport through a superconducting double barrier structure. At each barrier, due to the proximity effect, an incident electron can either reflect as an electron or a hole (Andreev reflection). Similarly, transport across…
The theory of Andreev conductance is formulated for junctions involving normal metals (N) and multiband superconductors (S) and applied to the case of superconductors with nodeless extended $s_{\pm}$-wave order parameter symmetry, as…
In a semiclassical view superconductivity is attributed exclusively to the advance of atoms' outer s electrons through the nuclei of neighbor atoms in a solid. The necessary progression of holes in the opposite direction has the electric…
The Andreev reflection (AR) spectroscopy has been used to probe mutual influence of superconducting pairing and ferromagnetic correlations in contacts of low-temperature superconductor (S), Pb, and half-metallic ferromagnetic,…
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 report evidence of large, nonlocal correlations between two spatially separated normal metals in superconductor/normal-metal (SN) heterostructures, which manifest themselves a nonlocal voltage generated in response to a driving current.…
We study a model of mesoscale superconducting puddles in a metal, represented as dynamical impurities interacting with a finite number of electronic channels via Andreev and normal scattering. We identify conditions under which the…
We observe large amplitude changes in the resistance of ferromagnetic (F) wires at the onset of superconductivity of adjacent superconductors (S). New sharp peaks of large amplitude are found in the magnetoresistance of the F-wires. We…
We consider a normal metal - superconductor (N-S) junction in the regime, when electrons in the normal metal are driven out of equilibrium. We show that the non-equilibrium fluctuations of the electron density in the N-layer cause the…
We introduce the notion of nonreciprocal superconductors where inversion and time-reversal symmetries are broken, giving rise to an asymmetric energy dispersion. We demonstrate that nonreciprocal superconductivity can be detected by Andreev…
We investigate one aspect of the proximity effect, viz., the local density of states of a superconductor-normal metal sandwich. In contrast to earlier work, we allow for the presence of an arbitrary concentration of impurities in the…
Electronic properties of mesoscopic systems made of normal metal in contact with normal and superconducting reservoirs are determined by Andreev Reflection. We address both experimentally and theoretically how Andreev Reflection manifests…
Studies of the superconducting proximity effect in normal conductor/superconductor $(N/S)$ junctions almost universally assume no effective electron-electron coupling in the $N$ region. While such an approximation leads to a simple…
