Current-phase relation and flux-dependent thermoelectricity in Andreev interferometers.
We predict a novel $(I_0,\phi_0)$-junction state of multi-terminal Andreev interferometers that emerges from an interplay between long-range quantum coherence and non-equilibrium effects. Under non-zero bias $V$ the current-phase relation $I_S(\phi)$ resembles that of a $\phi_0$-junction differing from the latter due to a non-zero average $I_0(V) = \left< I_S(\phi)\right>_{\phi}$. The flux-dependent thermopower ${\mathcal S}(\Phi)$ of the system exhibits features similar to those of a $(I_0,\phi_0)$-junction and in certain limits it can reduce to either odd or even function of $\Phi$ in the agreement with a number of experimental observations.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
