摘要: Abstract We have experimentally investigated electron transport in double-barrier Nb/Al/AlO x /Al/AlO /Nb devices. At low temperatures, the devices reveal a novel magnetic-field-sensitive subgap structure current-voltage characteristics, which is interpreted as manifestation of Andreev bound states. A correlation between phase-coherent and nonequilibrium properties suggested.
