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…
We describe the conductance of a normal-superconducting junction in systems with Landau levels that preserve time reversal symmetry. Those Landau levels have been observed in strained honeycomb lattices. The current is carried along the…
In the "ballistic" regime, the transport across a normal metal (N)/superconductor (S) point-contact is dominated by a quantum process called Andreev reflection. Andreev reflection causes an enhancement of the conductance below the…
In a point contact NS junction, perfect Andreev reflection occurs over a range of voltages equal to the superconducting energy gap, producing an excess current of $I_{exc} = (4/3)(2e\Delta/h)$. If the superconductor has a finite width,…
The Andreev reflection of narrow ferromagnet/superconductor point contacts is theoretically studied. We show that the conductance quantization depends on whether the contact region is superconducting or ferromagnetic as well as on the…
Andreev reflection at the interface between a half-metallic ferromagnet and a spin-singlet superconductor is possible only if it is accompanied by a spin flip. Here we calculate the Andreev reflection amplitudes for the case that the spin…
The quasiparticle reflection and transmission properties at normal conductor-superconductor interfaces are discussed for unitary and non-unitary spin triplet pairing states recently proposed for Sr_2RuO_4. We find resonance peaks in the…
The quasi-bound states of a superconducting quantum dot that is weakly coupled to a normal metal appear as resonances in the Andreev reflection probability, measured via the differential conductance. We study the evolution of these Andreev…
We show how an electrical measurement can detect the pairing of electrons on the same side of the Fermi surface (Amperian pairing), recently proposed by Patrick Lee for the pseudogap phase of high-$T_c$ cuprate superconductors. Bragg…
Sub-gap conductance at a large area junction with a rough interface of a ferromagnet and a high-T$_{C}$ superconductor is superimposed by multiple peaks which is not expected from an ideal point contact Andreev reflection process. We…
We calculate the conductance of a junction between a disordered superconductor and a very strong half-metallic ferromagnet admitting electrons with only one spin projection. A usual mechanism of Andreev reflection is strongly suppressed in…
We report the study of ballistic transport in normal metal/graphene/superconductor junctions in edge-contact geometry. While in the normal state, we have observed Fabry-P\'{e}rot resonances suggesting that charge carriers travel…
We evaluate the differential conductance measured in a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) setting at arbitrary electron transmission between an STM tip and a two-dimensional (2D) superconductor with arbitrary gap structure. Our analytical…
Using the non-equilibrium Green function method, we study the Andreev reflection in a Y-shaped graphene-superconductor device by tight-binding model. Considering both the zigzag and armchair terminals, we confirm that the zigzag terminals…
We theoretically demonstrate unusual features of superconducting proximity effect in gapped graphene which presents a pseudospin symmetry-broken ferromagnet with a net pseudomagnetization. We find that the presence of a band gap makes the…
Dynamic conductance spectra are taken from Au/CeCoIn$_5$ point contacts in the Sharvin limit along the (001) and (110) directions. Our conductance spectra, reproducibly obtained over wide ranges of temperature, constitute the cleanest data…
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.…
The recent development of superconducting spintronics has revealed the spin-triplet superconducting proximity effect from a spin-singlet superconductor into a spin-polarized normal metal. In addition recently superconducting junctions using…
We study analytically an analog of the Andreev reflection at a normal-superfluid interface. The polariton gapped superfluid region is achieved by quasi-resonant optical pumping. The interacting polaritons are described with the…
We investigate the Andreev reflection in a normal metal/charge-4e superconductor junction.Compare with the electron-hole conversion in normal charge-2e superconductors, here four electrons participate simultaneously, enriching the…
