Subgap current in superconducting tunnel junctions with diffusive electrodes

Subgap current in superconducting tunnel junctions with diffusive electrodes

We calculate the subgap current in planar superconducting tunnel junctions with thin-film diffusive leads. It is found that the subharmonic gap structure of the tunnel current scales with an effective tunneling transparency which may exceed the junction transparency by up to two orders of magnitude depending on the junction geometry …
