Quartet correlations between Cooper pairs in a mesoscopic double Josephson junction
Tuesday 7 February 2012 at 3pm Room "Rémy Lemaire" K 223 (1st floor) Building K, Institut Néel / CNRS Régis MELIN (Institut Néel) Two Josephson junctions separated by less than the superconducting coherence length involve higher order processes that can be quite sizeable for more transparent junctions. Those processes originate from crossed Andreev reflections (CAR), where...
