Influence of a single defect on the conductance of a tunnel point contact between a normal metal and a superconductor

We have investigated theoretically the conductance of a normal–superconductor point contact in the tunnel limit and analyzed the quantum interference effects originating from the scattering of quasi-particles by point-like defects. Analytical expressions for the oscillatory dependence of the condu...
