Diagrammatic theory of random scattering matrices for normal-metal–superconducting mesoscopic junctions

Diagrammatic theory of random scattering matrices for normal-metal–superconducting mesoscopic junctions

The planar-diagrammatic technique of large-N random matrices is extended to evaluate averages over the circular ensemble of unitary matrices. It is then applied to study transport through a disordered metallic ``grain'' attached through ideal leads to a normal electrode and to a superconducting electrode. The latter enforces boundary conditions which …
