Tunable Andreev reflection probabilities depending on the interdot coupling strength and magnetic flux as well are analysised in detail. It is found that the oscillation period of the reflection probability with respect to the magnetic flux for the double interferometer depends linearly on the ratio of two parts magnetic fluxes n, i.e. 2(n+1)pi, while that of a single interferometer is 2pi. The coupling strength not only affects the height and the linewidth of Andreev reflection current peaks vs gate votage but also shifts the peak positions. It is furthermore demonstrated that the Andreev reflection current peaks can be tuned by the magnetic fluxes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-11-08T10:19:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum transport", "double aharonov-bohm-interferometer", "andreev reflection current peaks", "reflection probability", "andreev reflection probabilities depending" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
