The influence of the finite transparency, <InlineEquation ID="Equ1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">${\mathcal T}$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, of superconductor/normal metal (S/N) interface on the critical temperature of proximity coupled layered structures is investigated in the dirty limit on the basis of the microscopic equations solved exactly by a matrix method.

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 ξ<Subscript>CDW</Subscript>. It is thus practically impossible to observe a Josephson current...</subscript>

We theoretically calculate the Josephson current for two superconductor/ferromagnetic semiconductor (SC/FS) bilayers separated by a semiconductor (SM) layer. It is found that the critical Josephson current I<Subscript>C</Subscript> in the junction is strongly determined by not only the relative orientations of the...</subscript>

Four-component Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations are applied to study tunneling conductance spectra of ferromagnet/ferromagnet/d-wave superconductor (F<Subscript>1</Subscript>/F<Subscript>2</Subscript>/d-wave S) tunnel junctions and to find out signs of spin-triplet pairing correlations induced in the proximity structure. The pairing...</subscript></subscript>

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...

We study theoretically the current-noise energy (voltage bias and temperature) dependence for a N-N'-S structure, where N and S stand for bulk normal metal and superconductor, respectively, and N' for a short diffusive normal metal. Using quasiclassical theory of current fluctuations we...
