Shot Noise for Electron Pairing without Superconductivity
ORAL
Abstract
Recent experiments have revealed electron pairing in superconductors outside the superconducting regime [1]. We propose and theoretically study an engineered nanostructure that allows in-situ tunability and pairing of electrons beyond the limitations of the Anderson-Holstein model [2]. Assuming a source-drain biased setup, we obtain the expected current and shot noise via full counting statistics and infer a sharp increase of the Fano factor as the system enters the phase of electron pairing. Our results can be used to verify and contribute to the understanding of electron-pairing without superconductivity.
