This is a review of the statistical properties of the scattering matrix of a mesoscopic system.
Two geometries are contrasted: A quantum dot and a disordered wire. The quantum dot is a …

We review the development of random-matrix theory (RMT) during the last fifteen years. We
emphasize both the theoretical aspects, and the application of the theory to a number of …

This review provides a theoretical basis for understanding the current-phase relation (CΦR)
for the stationary (dc) Josephson effect in various types of superconducting junctions. The …

This review considers unusual effects in superconductor-ferromagnet structures, in
particular, the triplet component of the condensate generated in those systems. This …

During the last few years quantum graphs have become a paradigm of quantum chaos with
applications from spectral statistics to chaotic scattering and wavefunction statistics. In the …

The formation of bound states at surfaces of materials with an energy gap in the bulk
electron spectrum is a well known physical phenomenon. At superconductor surfaces …

This article is an overview of recent experimental and theoretical work on transport in phase-
coherent hybrid nanostructures, with particular emphasis on dc electrical conduction. A …

Quantum chaos of many-body (MB) systems has been swiftly develo** into a vibrant
research area at the interface between various disciplines, ranging from statistical physics to …

Mesoscopic physics has emerged as a new, interdisciplinary field combining concepts of
atomic, molecular, cluster, and condensed-matter physics. On the one hand mesoscopic …

Enhanced proximity effect by the midgap Andreev resonant state (MARS) in a diffusive
normal-metal/insulator/triplet superconductor (DN/TS) junction is studied based on the …
