Applications of Superconductor-Normal Metal Interfaces
arXiv:2503.11476 · doi:10.1007/s10909-024-03144-8
Abstract
The importance and non-trivial properties of superconductor normal metal interfaces was discovered by Alexander Fyodorovich Andreev more than 60 years ago. Only much later these hybrids have found wide interest in applications such as thermometry and refrigeration, electrical metrology, and quantum circuit engineering. Here we discuss the central properties of such interfaces and describe some of the most prominent and recent applications of them.
