Possibility of reflectionless tunneling crossed transport at normal metal / superconductor double interfaces

Abstract

We investigate one dimensional models (the Blonder, Tinkham, Klapwijk model and a tight-binding model) of non local transport at normal metal / superconductor (NS) double interfaces. We find a negative elastic cotunneling crossed conductance, strongly enhanced by additional scatterers away from the interfaces, suggesting the possibility of reflectionless tunneling non local transport at double NS interfaces with contacts having a sufficiently small extension.
