Abstract
We investigated superconducting AuIn2 by pointcontact spectroscopy Andreev reflexion was observed with nearly full excess current at contact sizes down to 015 nm This implies together with a large superconducting coherence length of 11 μm almost ideal retroreflectivity At the onset of lateral confinement of the ballistic electrons the Andreevderived spectra broaden dramatically due to inelastic scattering at defects or the strain field near the contact Lateral confinement does not suppress Andreev reflexion
