Phase coherent transport in hybrid superconducting nanostructures

Abstract

This article is an overview of recent experimental and theoretical work on transport in phase-coherent hybrid nanostructures, with particular emphasis on dc electrical conduction. A summary of multiple scattering theory and the quasi-classical methods is presented and comparisons between the two are made. Several paradigms of phase-coherent transport are discussed, including zero-bias anomalies, reentrant and long range proximity effects, Andreev interferometers and superconductivity-induced conductance suppression.
