This is a review of the statistical properties of the scattering matrix of a mesoscopic system.
Two geometries are contrasted: A quantum dot and a disordered wire. The quantum dot is a …

This review considers unusual effects in superconductor-ferromagnet structures, in
particular, the triplet component of the condensate generated in those systems. This …

This review presents an overview of the thermal properties of mesoscopic structures. The
discussion is based on the concept of electron energy distribution, and, in particular, on …

Recent experiments on mesoscopic normal metal/superconductor heterostructures resolve
properties on length scales and at low temperatures such that the temperature is below the …

Abstract The Andreev Reflection is the key mechanism for thesuperconducting proximity
effect. It provides phasecorrelations in a system of non-interacting electrons atmesoscopic …

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 …

We present an experimental study of the transport properties of a ferromagnetic metallic wire
(Co) in metallic contact with a superconductor (Al). As the temperature is decreased below …

In a mesoscopic superconductor–normal metal–superconductor (SNS) heterostructure the
quasiparticle distribution can be driven far from equilibrium by a voltage applied across the …

The traditional distinction between tunnel and highly transmissive barriers does not currently
hold for high critical temperature superconducting Josephson junctions, both because of …

Recent experiments have demonstrated the nonequilibrium control of the supercurrent
through diffusive phase-coherent normal-metal weak links. The experimental results have …
