“…A microscopic calculation shows that the ZES has a large local density of states around x = ξ 0 at the zero-energy. 73 Similar arguments have been done in normal-metal/insulator/normalmetal/insulator/superconductor junctions 74 and at the surface of high-T c superconductors.…”
A conceptual consideration is given to a zero-energy state (ZES) at the surface of unconventional superconductors. The reflection coefficients in normal-metal / superconductor (NS) junctions are calculated based on a phenomenological description of the reflection processes of a quasiparticle. The phenomenological theory reveals the importance of the sign change in the pair potential for the formation of the ZES. The ZES is observed as the zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP) in the differential conductance of NS junctions. The split of the ZBCP due to broken time-reversal symmetry states is naturally understood in the present theory. We also discuss effects of external magnetic fields on the ZBCP.

“…Чтобы описать физическую картину процессов токопереноса в тун-нельной гетероструктуре со сверхпроводником, используем про-стую модель [3], в основе которой лежит фейнмановский принцип суперпозиции амплитуд вероятностей альтернативных возможно-стей осуществления определённого события [4].…”
Photon-assisted electron transport in mesoscopic heterostructures is studied via a scattering approach. The nonequilibrium current fluctuations of normal metal-insulator-superconductor systems under illumination with monochromatic microwaves have been calculated. Using a time-periodic potential applied across the tunnel junction we model the emission and absorption of photons. We have concluded that the photon-assisted shot noise decreases when the insulating barrier becomes more transparent. The voltage dependence of the shot-noise power as a function of microwave frequency has been investigated as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
