Abstract

Creating variable size nanojunctions between a thin metallic film and a superconducting tip we study how multiple phase-coherent scatterings enhance the superconducting correlations at the normal side. By increasing the coherent volume of carriers the transmission through the interface is smoothly enhanced as reflected in the zero-bias conductance. As the phase-coherent volume reaches the opposite surface of the thin film a resonator is formed, the conductance of the interface is dramatically enhanced, and finally a proximity induced Josephson supercurrent is established.
