Negative Magnetoresistance in Andreev Interferometers
Abstract
We consider transport in a diffusive cross-shaped Andreev interferometer geometry, both theoretically and experimentally. A strong and unexpected modulation of the conductance with the superconducting phase is found. In particular, a reversed resistance vs. phase difference is predicted, where the resistance is decreased by a phase gradient. A comparison of our quasiclassical calculation with experimental data shows quantitative agreement if we account for diamagnetic screening.
