We construct high-quality graphene-based van der Waals devices with narrow superconducting niobium nitride (NbN) electrodes, in which superconductivity and robust fqH coexist. We find crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) across the…
Many of the properties of superconductors related to quantum coherence are revealed when the superconducting state is forced to vary in space - in response to an external magnetic field, a proximity contact, an interface to a ferromagnet,…

At a normal-metal/superconductor interface, an incident electron from the normal-metal (N) side can be normally reflected as an electron or Andreev reflected as a hole. We show that pronounced lateral shifts along the interface between the…

Direct detection of superconductivity has long been a key strength of point-contact Andreev reflection. However, its applicability to atomic-scale imaging is limited by the mechanical contact of the Andreev probe. To this end, we present a…
The Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk model of the Point-Contact Andreev Reflection spectroscopy does not provide an adequate description of experiment in the presence of magnetic field. We demonstrate this using a junction between a niobium tip and…
Standard statistical mechanical or condensed matter arguments tell us that bulk properties of a physical system do not depend too much on boundary conditions. Random tilings of large regions provide counterexamples to such intuition, as…
