Circuit theory for crossed Andreev reflection and nonlocal conductance
Nonlocal currents, in devices where two normal-metal terminals are contacted to a superconductor, are determined using the circuit theory of mesoscopic superconductivity. We calculate the conductance associated with crossed Andreev reflection and electron transfer between the two normal-metal terminals, in addition to the conductance from direct Andreev reflection and quasiparticle tunneling. D...
متن کاملExperimental observation of total-internal-reflection rainbows.
A new class of rainbows is created when a droplet is illuminated from the inside by a point light source. The position of the rainbow depends on both the index of refraction of the droplet and the position of the light source, and the rainbow vanishes when the point source is too close to the center of the droplet. Here we experimentally measure the position of the transmission and one-internal...
متن کاملProbing Ferromagnets with Andreev Reflection
High transmissivity, ferromagnet-superconductor thin film nanocontacts are studied experimentally. Compared to nonmagnetic metal-superconductor contacts, Andreev reflection is strongly suppressed due to the spin polarization of conduction electrons in the ferromagnet. This effect is used to measure both the transparency of the interface and spin polarization of the direct current in the ferroma...
متن کاملAndreev 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...
متن کاملSpecular 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...
