Superconducting proximity effect and order parameter fluctuations in disordered and quasiperiodic systems

Gautam Rai, Stephan Haas, Anuradha Jagannathan

We study the superconducting proximity effect in inhomogeneous systems in which a disordered or quasicrystalline normal-state wire is connected to a BCS superconductor. We self-con…
