Statistical detection of Josephson, Andreev, and single quasiparticle currents in scanning tunneling microscopy

We present a method to identify distinct tunneling modes in a tunable superconducting tunnel junction composed of a superconducting tip and a sample in a scanning tunneling microscope. Combining the relative decay constant of tunneling current extracted from I-V-z spectroscopy with its statistical a...
