摘要
We measure the resistance of a normal mesoscopic sample with two Superconducting mirrors and find two regimes with qualitatively different behavior. At temperatures below 90 mK peaks in the conductance were found when the phase difference between the two superconductors is an odd multiple of rr. The peak heights increase with decreasing temperature. Above 100 mK the observed peaks give way to dips in the conductance. While the high-temperature behavior can be explained in terms of the thermal effect [Phys. Rev. Lett, 76, 823 (1996)], we propose that the low-temperature behavior is: a manifestation of resonant transmission of low-energy quasiparticles through Andreev states. [S0163-1829(99)11641-2].
