To check the reliability of an approximation of an infinitely-large gap $\\Delta$ in the superconducting leads and weak tunnel coupling to the normal lead, we perform a $1/\\Delta$ expansion, and we analyze next-to-leading order corrections in the tunnel coupling to the normal lead. Furthermore, we propose a resummation approach to calculate the Andreev bound states for finite $\\Delta$. The results are substantially more accurate than those obtained by mean-field treatments and favorably compare with numerical exact results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-01-18T10:58:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "74.45.+c", "73.63.Kv" ], "keywords": [ "interacting quantum dots", "renormalization effects", "quantum dot tunnel", "superconducting", "analyze next-to-leading order corrections" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2013, "month": "Jan", "volume": 87, "number": 1, "pages": "014509" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvB..87a4509F" } } }
