Abstract

Current-voltage characteristics of superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor junctions are calculated. Multiple Andreev reflections and the effect of normal elastic scattering at the superconductor-normal-metal interfaces are considered. The normal reflections of quasiparticles appear due to the mismatches in Fermi velocities and effective masses of superconductors and weak link. The wave-packet solution of nonequilibrium time-dependent Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations was obtained with the help of the boundary conditions on the wave function of the quasiparticle. At voltages of interest for multiple Andreev reflections (eV2\ensuremath{\Delta}), the result is applied to the rather thick weak links where the density of bound Andreev states is small.
