Chaos in Andreev Billiards
Ioan Kosztin, Dmitrii L. Maslov, Paul M. Goldbart
Abstract
A new type of classical billiard - the Andreev billiard - is investigated using the tangent map technique. Andreev billiards consist of a normal region surrounded by a superconducting region. In contrast with previously studied billiards, Andreev billiards are integrable in zero magnetic field, regardless of their shape. A magnetic field renders chaotic motion in a generically shaped billiard, which is demonstrated for the Bunimovich stadium by examination of both Poincaré sections and Lyapunov exponents. The issue of the feasibility of certain experimental realizations is addressed.
