ABSTRACT:
We analyse the
proximity effect in hybrid nanoscale junctions involving superconducting leads.
We develop a general framework for the analysis of the proximity effect using
the same theoretical methods typically employed for the analysis of conductance
properties. We apply our method to a normal-superconductor tunnel contact and
compare our results to previous results.
