Frequency-dependent shot noise in long disordered superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor contacts.
The shot noise in long diffusive superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor contacts is calculated using the semiclassical approach. At low frequencies and for purely elastic scattering, the voltage dependence of the noise is of the form S(I) = (4Delta+2eV)/3R. The electron-electron scattering suppresses the noise at small voltages resulting in vanishing noise yet infinite dS(I)/dV at V = 0. The distribution function of electrons consists of a series of steps, and the frequency dependence of noise exhibits peculiarities at omega = neV, omega = neV-2Delta, and omega = 2Delta-neV for integer n.
