We consider a normal–superconducting junction in order to investigate the effect of new physical ingredients on waiting times. First, we study the interplay between Andreev and specular scattering at the interface on the distribution of waiting times of electrons or holes separately. In that case the distribution is not altered dramatically compared to the case of a single quantum channel with a quantum point contact since the interface acts as an Andreev mirror for holes. We then consider a fully entangled state originating from splitting of Cooper pairs at the interface and demonstrate a significant enhancement of the probability to detect two consecutive electrons in a short time interval. Finally, we discuss the electronic waiting time distribution in the more realistic situation of partial entanglement. 相似文献

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 results. The elementary processes are single Andreev transfers and electron- and hole-like Andreev transfers. Considering Lorentzian voltage pulses we find an optimal quantization for half-integer Levitons. 相似文献

Four-component Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations are applied to study
tunneling conductance spectra of ferromagnet/ferromagnet/d-wave
superconductor (F1/F2/d-wave S) tunnel junctions and to find
out signs of spin-triplet pairing correlations induced in the
proximity structure. The pairing correlations with equal spins
arises from the novel Andreev reflection (AR), which requires at
least three factors: the usual AR at the F2/S interface, spin
flip in the F2 layer, and superconducting coherence kept up in
the F2 layer. Effects of angle α between magnetizations of
the two F layers, polarizations of the F1 and F2 layers, the
thickness of the F2 layer, and the orientation of the d-wave S crystal on the tunneling conductance are investigated. A conversion
from a zero-bias conductance dip at α = 0 to a zero-bias
conductance peak at a certain value of α can be seen as a
sign of generated spin-triplet correlations. 相似文献

A Cooper pair from a s-wave superconductor (S) entering a conventional charge density wave (CDW) below the Peierls gap dephases
on the Fermi wavelength while one particle states are localized on the CDW coherence length ξCDW. It is thus practically impossible to observe a Josephson current through a CDW. The paths following different sequences
of impurities interfere destructively, due to the different electron and hole densities in the CDW. The same conclusion holds
for averaging over the conduction channels in the ballistic system. We apply two microscopic approaches to this phenomenon:
(i) a Blonder, Tinkham, Klapwijk (BTK) approach for a single highly transparent S-CDW interface; and (ii) the Hamiltonian
approach for the Josephson effect in a clean CDW and a CDW with non magnetic disorder. The Josephson effect through a spin
density wave (SDW) is limited by the coherence length ξSDW, not by the Fermi wave-length. A Josephson current through a SDW might be observed in a structure with contacts on a SDW
separated by a distance ξSDW. 相似文献

We investigate the effect of intra-dot Coulomb interaction on the Andreev reflection in a normalmetal/quantum-dot/superconductor (N-QD-S) system with multiple levels in the quantum dot, in the regime where the intra-dot interacting constant is comparable to the energy gap of superconducting lead. By using nonequilibrium Green function method, the averaged occupation of electrons in the quantum dot and the Andreev reflection (AR) current are studied. Comparing to the case of non-interacting quantum dot, the system shows significant changes for the a two-step-like behavior; and the I-Vg shows two groups of peaks, separated by U and with equal heights, where Vg is the gate voltage and U denotes the intra-dot Coulomb interaction constant. (ii) For finite bias voltage, dips, superposed V ≥ U/2, extra AR current peaks occur between the two groups of the peaks. Besides, the properties of the heights of the AR current peaks are more complicated.`` 相似文献

Room temperature ferromagnetism in both transition-metals doped and undoped semiconductor thin films and nanostructures challenges our understanding of the magnetism in solids. In this report, we performed the magnetic measurement and Andreev reflection spectroscopy study on undoped Indium-Tin oxide (ITO) thin films and bulk samples. The magnetic measurement results of thin films show that the total magnetization/cm2 is thickness independent. Prominent ferromagnetism signal was also discovered in bulk samples. Spin polarized electron transports were probed on ITO thin film/superconductor interface and bulk samples surface/superconductor interface. Based on the magnetic measurement results and spin polarization measurement data, we propose that the ferromagnetism in this material originates from the surface spin polarization and this surface polarization may also explain the room temperature ferromagnetism discovered in other undoped oxide semiconductor thin films and nanostructures. 相似文献

The supercurrent through an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer containing
two parallel quantum dots connected with two superconductor leads is
investigated theoretically. The possibility of controlling the
supercurrent is explored by tuning the quantum dot energy levels and
the total magnetic flux. By tuning the energy levels, both quantum
dots can be in the on-resonance or off-resonance states, and thus
the optimal modulation of the supercurrent can be achieved. The
supercurrent sign does not change by simply varying the quantum dot
energy levels. However, by tuning the magnetic flux, the
supercurrent can oscillate from positive to negative, which results
in the π-junction transition. 相似文献

Planar CdBxF2−x–p-CdF2–CdBxF2−x sandwich nanostructures prepared on the surface of the n-type CdF2 bulk crystal are studied to register the spin transistor and quantum spin Hall-effects. The current–voltage characteristics of the ultra-shallow p+–n junctions verify the CdF2 gap, 7.8 eV, and the quantum subbands of the 2D holes in the p-type CdF2 quantum well confined by the CdBxF2−xδ-barriers. The temperature and magnetic field dependencies of the resistance, specific heat and magnetic susceptibility demonstrate the high temperature superconductor properties for the CdBxF2−xδ-barriers. The value of the superconductor energy gap, 2Δ = 102.06 meV, determined by the tunneling spectroscopy method appears to be in a good agreement with the relationship between the zero-resistance supercurrent in superconductor state and the conductance in normal state, πΔ/e, at the energies of the 2D hole subbands. The results obtained are evidence of the important role of the multiple Andreev reflections in the creation of the high spin polarization of the 2D holes in the edged channels of the sandwich device. The high spin hole polarization in the edged channels is shown to identify the mechanism of the spin transistor and quantum spin Hall-effects induced by varying the top gate voltage, which is revealed by the first observation of the Hall quantum conductance staircase. 相似文献

Iron-based superconductors have been the subject of intensive study due to their high transition temperature and intriguing physical mechanisms. We describe a unique experimental approach to fabricate nano-scale normal metal/superconductor/normal metal junctions involving microcrystals of Fe1 ?+?y Te1 ???x Se x , for which we have observed a distinct phenomenon of negative differential conductance (NDC) dips along with multiple plateau features in differential conductance spectra. The evolution of the NDC dips and the plateau features is further explored as a function of both temperature and magnetic field, and their physical origin is discussed. 相似文献

Along the lines of Blonder, Tinkham and Klapwijk, we investigate
the charge transport through ferromagnet/two-dimensional
electronic gas/d-wave superconductor (F/2DEG/S) junctions in the
presence of Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling and focus our
attention on the interplay between spin polarization and spin
precession. At zero spin polarization, the spin-mixing scattering
resulted from Rashba SO coupling decreases the zero-bias
conductance peak. Under spin polarization, spin precession
introduces novel Andreev reflection, which competes with the
effect of spin-mixing scattering. If the F layer is a half metal,
the later effect is overwhelmed by that of novel Andreev
reflection. As a result, the zero-bias conductance dip caused by
spin polarization is enhanced, and at strong Rashba SO coupling, a
split zero-bias peak is found in the gap. In an intermediate
region where the two effects are comparable with each other, the
zero-bias conductance shows a reentrant behavior as a function of
Rashba SO coupling. 相似文献
