Abstract

We study the variation in the differential conductance G=dj/dV of a normal metal wire in a superconductor/normal metal heterostructure with a cross geometry under external microwave radiation applied to the superconducting parts. Our theoretical treatment is based on the quasiclassical Green’s functions technique in the diffusive limit. Two limiting cases are considered: first, the limit of a weak proximity effect and low microwave frequency and second, the limit of a short dimension (short normal wire) and small irradiation amplitude.
