Majorana Fermions, strange particles that are their own antiparticles, were predicted in 1937 and have been sought after ever since. In condensed matter they are predicted to exist as vortex core or edge excitations in certain exotic…

Electrical injection and detection of spin-polarized electrons is demonstrated for the first time in a single wafer, all-semiconductor, GaAs-based lateral spintronic device, employing p+-(Ga,Mn)As/n+-GaAs ferromagnetic Esaki diodes as spin…

We propose a three-terminal structure to probe robust signatures of Majorana zero modes. This structure consists of a quantum dot coupled to the normal metal, s-wave superconducting and Majorana Y-junction leads. The zero-bias differential…

We show how a superconducting region (S) sandwiched between two normal leads (N), in the presence of barriers, can act as a lens for propagating electron and hole waves by virtue of the so- called crossed Andreev reflection (CAR). The CAR…

We study transport in a voltage biased superconductor-normal-superconductor (SNS) junction made of semiconducting nanowires with strong spin-orbit coupling, as it transitions into a topological superconducting phase for increasing Zeeman…

One-dimensional nanowires with strong spin-orbit coupling and proximity-induced superconductivity are predicted to exhibit topological superconductivity with condensed-matter analogues to Majorana fermions. Here, the nonequilibrium Green's…

Electrical transport through a normal metal / superconductor contact at biases smaller than the energy gap can occur via the reflection of an electron as a hole of opposite wave vector. The same mechanism of electron-hole reflection gives…

We propose and analyze a spin-entangler for electrons based on an s-wave superconductor coupled to two quantum dots each of which is tunnel-coupled to normal Fermi leads. We show that in the presence of a voltage bias and in the Coulomb…

We consider transport properties of a hybrid device composed by a quantum dot placed between normal and superconducting reservoirs, and coupled to a Majorana nanowire: a topological superconducting segment hosting Majorana zero-modes at the…

Crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) is a nonlocal transport phenomenon in a system of two normal metal (NM) leads connected to a superconductor (SC) that converts the electron like excitations in one metallic lead into hole like excitations in…

We show that Majorana fermions associated with Majorana flat bands emerge as zero energy modes on the [110] edge of single layer or multilayer nodal superconductors with $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave pairing and Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Moreover,…

We theoretically demonstrate that a ferromagnetic/superconductor junction on the surface of three-dimensional topological insulators (3D TIs) has an anisotropic angle-dependent Andreev reflection when the in-plane magnetization has a…

Topological spin superconductors are $p$-wave spin-triplet exciton insulators whose topological edge modes have been shown to obey non-Abelian braiding statistics. Based on a toy model as the spin counterpart of the Kitaev's chain, we study…

We show that confined Majorana fermions can exist in nanowires with proximity induced s-wave superconducting pairing if the direction of an external magnetic field rotates along the wire. The system is equivalent to nanowires with…

We consider Andreev reflection in a two dimensional junction between a normal metal and a heavy fermion superconductor in the Fulde-Ferrell (FF) type of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state. We assume s-wave symmetry of the…

The Majorana fermion can be described by a real wave function with only two phases (0 and {\pi}) which provide a controllable degree of freedom. We propose a strategy to regulate the phase of the chiral Majorana state by coupling with a…

Coherent charge transport along ballistic paths can be introduced into graphene by Andreev reflection, for which an electron reflects from a superconducting contact as a hole, while a Cooper pair is transmitted. We use a liquid-helium…

We examine the appearance of a spontaneous bulk spin current in a triplet superconductor in contact with a metallic ferromagnet. The spin current results from the spin-flip of Cooper pairs upon reflection from the interface with the…

The influence of the spin-dependent phase shifts (SDPS) associated to the electronic reflection and transmission amplitudes acquired by electrons upon scattering on the potential barrier on the Andreev reflection probability of electron and…

We find proximity-induced spontaneous spin and electric surface currents, at all temperatures below the superconducting T_c, in an isotropic s-wave superconductor deposited with a thin ferromagnetic metal layer with spin-orbit interaction.…
