Abstract
Using a scattering matrix approach and quasiclassical Green's function technique, we calculate the conductance of the superconductor-normal- metal (S/N) system (see Fig. 1). We establish that the difference betw een the superconducting and normal state conductance (delta G=G(s)-G(n )) is negative for large S/N interface resistances (R-S/N) and changes sign with decreasing R-S/N.
