| We study the charge tunneling via the quantum dot coupled to normal and superconducting leads, where the superconducting electrode has either an isotropic or anisotropic (of d-wave symmetry) energy gap. We use the single impurity Anderson model and apply the nonequilibrium Green function formalism to determine the differential tunneling conductance. The influence of the proximity effect between the quantum dot and superconductor on the transport properties of the system manifests itself in the Andreev conductance. |
