This is more of a physical question. I am considering a system set up of a superconductor connected to a non-superconducting metal. As in: [Lead][Conductor][Superconductor] In Kwant I set the superconductor up with an electron lattice and a hole lattice.
I can simulate this is two ways; one is the superconductor as a lead, and the other is the superconductor as part of the scattering system. So, [Lead][Conductor Region][Superconducting Lead] or [Lead][Conductor Region][Superconductor Region] If I look at the conduction between the electron and the hole lead on the left leads, I simulate slightly different conduction values for the case of the SC in the scattering region and the SC as a lead on the right side. Physically, as I understand it, there should be basically no difference at least at low enough energy values. Is the slight difference due to this "low enough energy" threshold, or am I missing something physical or numerical from kwant that would cause this difference to exist regardless?
