Abstract
We have studied transport properties in a superconductor-semiconductor -superconductor junction formed by two superconducting Nb electrodes a nd a two-dimensional electron gas in an InAs/AlSb heterostructure in t he ballistic regime on the basis of I-V measurements. We observe sharp spikes in the differential resistance at temperatures below 2.5 K whi ch can be explained by quasiparticle interference effects, which are r elated to Andreev bound states.
