Andreev reflection in graphene is special since it can be of two types- retro or specular. Specular Andreev reflection (SAR) dominates when the position of the Fermi energy in graphene is comparable to or smaller than the superconducting…

Electrons incident from a normal metal onto a superconductor are reflected back as holes - a process called Andreev reflection. In a normal metal where the Fermi energy is much larger than a typical superconducting gap, the reflected hole…

Bilayer graphene (BLG) possesses a finite bandgap when a potential difference is introduced between the two graphene layers. The potential difference is known to be introduced by surface charge transfer. Thus, it is expected that a finite…
