Andreev Reflection in Weyl Semimetals

Abstract

We theoretically study low energy electric transport in a junction consisting of a Weyl semimetal and a metallic superconductor. The characteristic features of the differential conductance depend on the relative directions between the current and the vector connecting the two Weyl points. When the electric current is perpendicular to the vector, the conductance spectra are sensitive to the direction and the amplitude of magnetic moment at the junction interface. This is a direct consequence of the chiral spin configuration on the fermi surface near the Weyl points.
