We analyze the results of point-contact measurements in La 2-x Sr x CuO 4 (LSCO) previously reported as a clear evidence of the separation between gap and pseudo-gap in this copper oxide. Here we show that, in addition to this, the conductance curves of our point-contact junctions – showing clear Andreev reflection features – can be interpreted as supporting a nodeless dx2 - y2 + i dxy-wave symmetry of the gap in LSCO. The results of our analysis, in particular the doping dependence of the subdominant dxy gap component, are discussed and compared to the predictions of different theoretical models.

We report on tunneling and Andreev-reflection conductance spectra of 39 K superconducting magnesium diboride, obtained with Pb and Au counter-electrodes. Two distinct steps at close to 2.7 and 7.1 meV appear in a low-resistance metallic-type Au–MgB 2 junction characteristic, whereas a tunneling-like spectrum measured for the same junction, annealed by the application of DC current, exhibits only a rounded contribution of the larger gap. Junctions with a superconducting lead counter-electrode pressed into a bulk MgB 2 sample reveal two conductance peaks that are interpreted as the result of the formation of a highly-transmitting break junctions inside the magnesium diboride ceramic. Our results strongly support the two-band model with two different gap values on quasi-two-dimensional σ (7.1 meV) and three-dimensional π (2.7 meV) Fermi surface sheets of MgB 2.

The influence of time-varying fields on the transport through a mesoscopic device has been investigated. This mesoscopic device is modeled as a quantum dot coupled to superconducting reservoirs via quantum point contact. The effect of a magnetic field and the Andreev reflection process were taken into account. The conductance was deduced by using Landuaer–Buttiker equation. A numerical calculation has been performed that shows a resonant tunneling behavior. Such investigation is important for fabricating photoelectron mesoscopic devices.
