Abstract

A general formula for point contact conductance from a normal metal tip into a superconductor is derived using the Blonder–Tinkham–Klapwijk theory of Andreev reflection, with special emphasis on non-unitary superconductors. The results of a comprehensive set of conductance spectrum calculations are presented: all symmetry-allowed gap functions for superconductors with tetrahedral symmetry, such as PrOs4Sb12, are considered, including several non-unitary cases.
