Semiclassical theory of shot noise in disordered SN contacts
arXiv:cond-mat/0007121 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.63.081301
Abstract
We present a semiclassical theory of shot noise in diffusive superconductor - normal metal contacts. At subgap voltages, we reproduce the doubling of shot noise with respect to conventional normal-metal contacts, which is interpreted in terms of an energy balance of electrons. Above the gap, the voltage dependence of the noise crosses over to the standard one with a voltage-independent excess noise. The semiclassical description of noise leads to correlations between currents at different electrodes of multiterminal SN contacts which are always of fermionic type, i.e. negative. Using a quantum extension of the Boltzmann - Langevin method, we reproduce the peculiarity of noise at the Josephson frequency and obtain an analytical frequency dependence of noise at above-gap voltages.
