This property may also be expected for Cooper pairs entering a normal metal from a superconductor due to the proximity effect. We show, however, that such a deduction is incorrect and the pairing function in a normal metal is surprisingly anisotropic because of quasiparticle interference. We calculate angle-resolved quasiparticle density of states in NS bilayers which reflects such anisotropic shape of the pairing function. We also propose a magnetotunneling spectroscopy experiment which could confirm our predictions.}, pages = {220504--220504}, title = {Shape of Cooper pairs in a normal-metal/superconductor junction}, volume = {77}, year = {2008} }
