This review provides a theoretical basis for understanding the current-phase relation (CΦR)
for the stationary (dc) Josephson effect in various types of superconducting junctions. The …

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 …

The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive pedagogical introduction into
Keldysh technique for interacting out-of-equilibrium fermionic and bosonic systems. The …

Superconducting properties of metallic nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk
superconductors because of the dominating role played by thermal and quantum …

We carry out an extensive experimental and theoretical study of the Josephson effect in SNS
junctions made of a diffusive normal metal (N) embedded between two superconducting …

When two superconductors are connected by a weak link, a supercurrent flows, the
magnitude of which is determined by the difference in the macroscopic quantum phases of …

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

Superconducting quantum devices offer numerous applications, from electrical metrology
and magnetic sensing to energy-efficient high-end computing and advanced quantum …
