摘要

At the contact with a Superconductor, the electrons from a Normal metal are Andreev-reflected. This modifies the normal metal electronic properties in the vicinity of the interface, including the local density of states (LDOS). A gap of reduced width (a mini-gap) is expected in the normal metal if its size is small as compared to the phase-breaking length. Otherwise, a pseudo-gap is expected. We performed the local spectroscopy of Normal-metal-Superconductor (N-S) structures with the help of a very low temperature (60 mK) Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). Both structures with a lateral and with a bilayer geometry were investigated. By comparing the experimental spectra with the predictions of the quasi-classical theory, we found a good agreement in many cases but also some clear discrepancies, especially in the mini-gap regime.
