Abstract

We study non-universal features of the quasi- particle excitation spectra of normal-conducting mesoscopic structures, whose classical dynamics are chaotic, and which are coupled to a superconducting lead. In the first part we demonstrate the importance of non-universal contributions in Andreev billiards when the ergodic time of the billiard is of the same order as the mean escape time. ...
