Abstract
The time-dependent Bogoliubov Equations — which are derived in a slightly generalized form — are applied to the problem of quasiparticle reflection from the phaseboundary between a normal and a superconducting region. The momentum balance of current flow through the boundary is discussed. The supercurrent induced by a quasiparticle with excitation energy less than the maximum value of the pair-potential is calculated.
