Diffusive conductors as Andreev interferometers.
We present a novel mechanism of phase-dependent electric transport in diffusive normal metal-superconductor structures. We provide a detailed theoretical and numerical analysis of recent unexplained experiments essentially
متن کاملLarge thermoelectric effect in ballistic Andreev interferometers
Employing quasiclassical theory of superconductivity combined with Keldysh technique we investigate large thermoelectric effect in multiterminal ballistic normal-superconducting (NS) hybrid structures. We argue that this effect is caused by electron-hole asymmetry generated by coherent Andreev reflection of quasiparticles at interfaces of two different superconductors with non-zero phase differ...
متن کاملCoherent nonlocal correlations in Andreev interferometers
Andreev interferometers, hybrid normal–superconducting loops, are well suited for studying phase-coherent effects, as they combine the robust quantum phase of a superconductor with a finite resistance normal section where phase-dependent transport properties can be easily measured. While they have previously been used to demonstrate local, phase-coherent properties, they may also be integrated ...
متن کاملThe symmetry of phase-coherent thermopower oscillations in Andreev interferometers
We study the thermopower of diffusive Andreev interferometers, which are hybrid loops with one normal-metal arm and one superconducting arm. The thermopower oscillates as a function of the magnetic flux through the loop with a fundamental period corresponding to one flux quantum Φ0 = h/2e. Unlike the electrical resistance oscillations and the thermal resistance oscillations, which are always sy...
متن کاملMacroscopic resonant tunnelling through Andreev interferometers.
We investigate the conductance through and the spectrum of ballistic chaotic quantum dots attached to two s-wave superconductors, as a function of the phase difference phi between the two order parameters. A combination of analytical techniques-random matrix theory, Nazarov's circuit theory and the trajectory-based semiclassical theory-allows us to explore the quantum-to-classical crossover in ...
