The ratio of Kondo temperature and superconducting gap $T_{K}/\\Delta$ is identified to govern the transport properties of the system. In the case of $T_{K}<\\Delta$ the conductance resonance splits into two resonances at $\\pm \\Delta$. For the opposite scenario $T_{K}>\\Delta$ the conductance resonance persists, however the conductance is not enhanced compared to the normal state due to a relative asymmetry of the lead-dot couplings. Within this limit the data is in agreement with a simple model of a resonant SN-interface.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-06-25T13:25:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "kondo resonance", "superconducting", "conductance resonance persists", "carbon nanotube quantum dot", "conductance resonance splits" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004cond.mat..6638G" } } }
