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.

We have measured the differential current-voltage characteristics of normal metal-NbSe3 direct point contacts (without insulating barrier) formed along different crystallographic orientations under applied magnetic field with different orientations. At low temperature two energy gaps, $\Delta_{p1}$ and $\Delta_{p2}$, corresponding to the high and the low-temperature CDW were observed simultaneously as a singulanty of the excess resistance which is attributed to an analog of Andreev reflection, in which the incident electron reflects on the Peierls energy gap barriers with its charge unchanged. An applied magnetic field up to 8.5 T does not lead to a change in the density of states and in the Peierls energy gaps, suggesting that the large magnetoresistance observed in NbSe3 might not result from the change in the CDW order parameter with magnetic field but rather from the increase of scattering of non-condensed to CDW carriers.
