Generalization of Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk theory to particle-hole mixing boundary conditions: \pi-shift and conductance dips

We generalize the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk theory considering non-diagonal boundary conditions in the Bogoliubov-de Gennes scattering problem, to describe anomalous conductance features often reported for normal-metal/superconductor contacts. We calculate the differential conductance spectra showing that conductance dips, not expected in the standard formulation, are explained in terms of phase \pi-shift, between the …
