“Smile”-gap in the density of states of a cavity between superconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Yu V. Nazarov | Summary:The density of Andreev levels in a normal metal ($N$) in contact with two superconductors ($S$) is known to exhibit an induced minigap related to the inverse dwell time. We predict a small secondary gap just below the superconducting gap edge—a feature that has been overlooked so far in […]
