Andreev reflection spectroscopy in strongly paired superconductors

نویسندگان

چکیده

One of the challenges in pursuit solid state BEC superconductors is need for unambiguous experimental signatures. Here, authors propose a new signature, relying on Andreev reflection, which distinguishes from BCS superconductors. They demonstrate that, standard tunneling spectroscopy setup, superconductor exhibits suppressed reflection; however, if barrier becomes potential well, then appreciable reflection can be revived. Their predictions probed various architectures that are also discussed.

Point-Contact Andreev-Reflection Spectroscopy in Fe-Based Superconductors: Multigap Superconductivity and Strong Electron–Boson Interaction

We performed point-contact Andreev-reflection measurements in Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 single crystals (x = 0.1, Tc = 24.5 K) and SmFeAsO1−xFx polycrystals (x = 0.2, Tc = 52 K). The spectra indicate the presence of two superconducting gaps with no line nodes on the Fermi surface, but also feature additional structures related to the electron–boson interaction (EBI). From the spectra, it is possible to ...

Mesoscopic superconductors under irradiation: Microwave spectroscopy of Andreev states

We show that irradiation of a voltage-biased superconducting quantum point contact at frequencies of the order of the gap energy can remove the suppression of subgap dc transport through Andreev levels. Quantum interference among resonant scattering events involving photon absorption is furthermore shown to make microwave spectroscopy of the Andreev levels feasible. We also discuss how the same...

Andreev reflection in graphene nanoribbons

We study Andreev reflection in graphene nanoribbon/superconductor hybrid junctions. By using a tightbinding approach and the scattering formalism we show that finite-size effects lead to notable differences with respect to the bulk-graphene case. At subgap voltages, conservation of pseudoparity, a quantum number characterizing the ribbon states, yields either a suppression of Andreev reflection...

Specular Andreev reflection in graphene.

By combining the Dirac equation of relativistic quantum mechanics with the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation of superconductivity we investigate the electron-hole conversion at a normal-metal-superconductor interface in graphene. We find that the Andreev reflection of Dirac fermions has several unusual features: (1) the electron and hole occupy different valleys of the band structure; (2) at normal...

Theory of Andreev reflection in a two-orbital model of iron-pnictide superconductors

A recently developed theory for the problem of Andreev reflection between a normal metal (N) and a multiband superconductor (MBS) assumes that the incident wave from the normal metal is coherently transmitted through several bands inside the superconductor. Such splitting of the probability amplitude into several channels is the analogue of a quantum waveguide. Thus, the appropriate matching co...
