Differential conductivity of a InAs-Nb-InAs-contact with respect to the magnetic field and bias voltage at 1.5 K. The pronounced structures are due to Andreev-reflections: Elektrons from the normal conductor can create a Cooper-pair in the superconductor, if they take a second suitable electron with them and a hole remains.
