Conductance of d-wave superconductor/normal metal/d-wave superconductor junctions

arXiv:0802.0704 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.247004

Abstract

We develop a theory of the conductance of superconductor/normal metal/superconductor junctions in the case where the superconducting order parameter has d-wave symmetry. At low temperature the conductance is proportional to the square root of the inelastic electron relaxation time in the bulk of the superconductor. As a result it turns out to be much larger than the conductance of the normal part of the junction.
