Resistance of superconducting nanowires connected to normal metal leads
arXiv:cond-mat/0401364 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.69.220503
Abstract
We study experimentally the low temperature resistance of superconducting nanowires connected to normal metal reservoirs. We find that a substantial fraction of the nanowires is resistive, down to the lowest temperature measured, indicative of an intrinsic boundary resistance due to the Andreev-conversion of normal current to supercurrent. The results are successfully analyzed in terms of the kinetic equations for diffusive superconductors.
