Fabrication and Electron Transport Properties of Superconducting-Normal Metal (Ballistic) Nanostructures

Experiments with ballistic weak link, where coherent Andreev's reflection may taken place, are of great interest. Recently, such type expenments were carried out using high electron rnobllity 2 DEG of semiconductor heterostructures contacted to the superconductors. Developing of monocrystalline metallic nanostructure fabrication capable ballistic electron transport makes it possible to fabricate superconductor normal metal (ballistic) structures, including also heteroepitaxial multilayered nanostructures. In this report we present for the first time the experimental realization of that and also the first results on electron transport investigation of S-N nanostructures fabricated.
