“…where η is an infinitesimal positive damping parameter introduced for numerical stability, and I is the identity matrix of the dimension of the Hamiltonian matrix in Nambu space. In the wide-band approximation [54][55][56], the self energies for the metallic contacts, Σ L(R) , are written in their eigenbasis and are hence diagonal, as detailed in the supplementary material. We use the Usadel equation, which is derived from a quasi-classical approximation to the Gorkov equations, to find the Green's function, and hence, the self-energy, Σ for the SC-MI bilayer [48].…”
