Driven Andreev molecule

چکیده

We study the voltage-biased S-QD-S-QD-S Josephson junction, composed of three superconductors (S) and two quantum dots (QDs). In absence an applied voltage, Andreev bound states on each dot hybridize, forming ``Andreev molecule.'' However, understanding this system in a nonequilibrium setup is lacking. Applying commensurate dc voltages bijunction makes time periodic, equilibrium evolve into ladder resonances with finite lifetime due to multiple reflections (MARs). Starting from time-periodic Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations we map problem tight-binding chain Floquet space. The resolvent non-Hermitian block matrix obtained via continued fraction method. numerically calculate Floquet-Andreev spectra which could be probed by local tunneling spectroscopy dots. also consider subgap current, show that determine position MAR steps. Proximity causes splitting steps, while at large distances observe interference effects cause oscillations current-voltage curves. latter effect should persist very long distances.

Elementary Andreev processes in a driven superconductor–normal metal contact

We investigate the full counting statistics of a voltage driven normal metal(N) superconductor (S) contact. In the low bias regime below the superconducting gap, the NS contact can be mapped onto a purely normal contact, albeit with doubled voltage and counting fields. Hence in this regime the transport characteristics can be obtained by the corresponding substitution of the normal metal result...

Resonant tunneling through Andreev levels

We use a semiclassical approach for analysing the tunneling transport through a normal conductor in contact with superconducting mirrors. Our analysis of the electron-hole propagation along semiclassical trajectories shows that resonant transmission through Andreev levels is possible resulting in an excess, low-energy quasiparticle contribution to the conductance. The excess conductance oscilla...

Andreev reflection in graphene nanoribbons

We study Andreev reflection in graphene nanoribbon/superconductor hybrid junctions. By using a tightbinding approach and the scattering formalism we show that finite-size effects lead to notable differences with respect to the bulk-graphene case. At subgap voltages, conservation of pseudoparity, a quantum number characterizing the ribbon states, yields either a suppression of Andreev reflection...

Probing Ferromagnets with Andreev Reflection

High transmissivity, ferromagnet-superconductor thin film nanocontacts are studied experimentally. Compared to nonmagnetic metal-superconductor contacts, Andreev reflection is strongly suppressed due to the spin polarization of conduction electrons in the ferromagnet. This effect is used to measure both the transparency of the interface and spin polarization of the direct current in the ferroma...
