Abstract

Low temperature transport measurements have been performed on nanofabricated Au wires a few μm long contacting two Nb electrodes whose superconducting phase difference Δθ was externally controlled. Δθ was generated by passing a known supercurrent through a series array of 28 Nb−AlOx−Nb Josephson junctions. The conductance of the Au wire displays a component in Δθ with period 2π. These conductance oscillations arise from the change in scattering boundary conditions of quasiparticles in the Au wire at the Au-Nb interfaces due to Andreev reflection.
