Transport through quantum coherent conductors, like atomic junctions, isdescribed by the distribution of conduction channels. Information about thenumber of channels and their transmission can be extracted from varioussources, such as multiple Andreev reflections, dynamical Coulomb blockade, orshot noise. We complement this set of methods by introducing thesuperconducting excess current as a new tool to continuously extract thetransport channel transmissions of an atomic scale junction in a scanningtunneling microscope. In conjunction with ab initio simulations, we employ thistechnique in atomic aluminum junctions to determine the influence of thestructure adjacent to the contact atoms on the transport properties.
