Abstracts

EN

We study the equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of the strongly correlated quantum dot coupled between normal and superconducting leads. The effect of electron pair coherence, Coulomb interactions, and d-wave anisotropy of the order parameter are discussed with a particular account of their influence on a charge tunneling through the quantum dot.
