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…

We consider the conductance of a normal-superconductor junction in bilayer graphene in the framework of the Dirac-Bogoliubov-De-Gennes equation. A remarkable suppression of the conductance at voltages just below the superconducting gap is…

We report on Andreev reflections at clean NbSe2-bilayer graphene junctions. The high transparency of the junction, which manifests as a large conductance enhancement of up to 1.8, enables us to see clear evidence of a proximity-induced…
A graphene sheet partially covered with a bulk superconductor serves as a normal conductor--superconductor (NS) junction, in which electron transport is mainly governed by Andreev reflection (AR). As excess carriers induced over the covered…

Using the tight binding model and the non-equilibrium Green function method, we study Andreev reflection in graphene-superconductor junction, where graphene has two nonequal Dirac Cones split in energy and therefore time reversal symmetry…
Electrons can be reflected at an interface between two metals because of a dielectric barrier or different properties of the Fermi surface. Andreev reflection allows to directly measure normal reflection when one of the metals is a…
