We study the Andreev and normal reflection processes -- retro as well as specular -- in a bilayer graphene-superconductor junction where equal and opposite displacement fields are applied for the top and bottom layers to induce a band gap.…

We show that Andreev reflection in a junction between ferromagnetic (F) and superconducting (S) graphene regions is fundamentally different from the common FS junctions. For a weakly doped F graphene with an exchange field $h$ larger than…

An incoming electron is reflected back as a hole at a normal-metal-superconductor interface, a process known as Andreev reflection. We predict that there exists a universal transverse shift in this process due to the effect of spin-orbit…
