AbstractWe develop a method to solve the Bogoliubov de Gennes equation for superconductors self-consistently, using the recursion method. The method allows the pairing interaction to be either local or non-local corresponding to $s$ and $d$--wave superconductivity, respectively. Using this method we examine the properties of various $S-I-N$ and $D-I-N$ interfaces. In particular we self-consistently calculate the spatially varying density of states and the superconducting order parameter. We see that changing the strength of the insulating barrier, at the interface, does not, in the case of an $s$--wave superconductor, dramatically, change the low energy local density of states, in the superconducting region near the interface. This is in stark contrast to what we see in the case of a $D-I-N$ interface where the local particle density of states is changed dramatically. Hence we deduce that in calculating such properties as the conductance of $S-I-N$ and $D-I-N$ structures it is far more important to carry out a self-consistent calculations in the $d$--wave case.
