AbstractWe propose a simple phenomenological theory for quantum tunneling of Cooper pairs, in superconductor/insulator/superconductor tunnel junctions, for a regime where the system can be modeled as bosonic particles. Indeed, provided there is an absence of quasiparticle excitations (fermions), our model reveals a rapid increase in tunneling current, around zero bias voltage, which rapidly saturates. This manifests as a zero bias conductance peak that strongly depends on the superconductors temperature in a non-monotonic way. This low energy tunneling of Cooper pairs could serve as an alternative explanation for a number of tunneling experiments where zero bias conductance peak has been observed.

AbstractWe describe a model for numerical calculation of phonon spectrum in a three-dimensional regimented array of semiconductor quantum dots. Regimentation and possibility of carrier mini-band formation make this structure analogous to a crystal, e.g.quantum dot crystal. It is demonstrated that the acoustic phonon dispersion undergoes strong modification in such a structure leading to emergence of low-energy quasi-optical branches. Strong phonon spectrum modification is expected to affect carrier relaxation and transport properties.
