Abstract

We theoretically investigate the Andreev reflection of the pseudospin-1 Dirac fermions with either the ±U\pm U-type or the SzS_z-type mass term. For the ±U\pm U-type fermions, it is found that the Andreev reflection probability at the oblique incidence can be even larger than that at the normal incidence. For the retro-reflection, such an oblique enhancement occurs in the nn-doped +U+U-type (pp-doped U-U-type) massive fermion systems. While for the specular reflection, the enhancement occurs in the nn-doped U-U-type (pp-doped +U+U-type) systems. For the SzS_z-type massive fermions, a super Andreev reflection with all-angle unit efficiency is predicted in an undoped junction with the incident energy equal to the superconducting gap.
