Crossed Andreev reflection in normal-superconductor-normal junction based on Kekulé-Y patterned graphene

Abstract

We theoretically study the crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) of the normal mental-superconductor-normal mental (NSN) heterojunction based on Kekulé-Y patterned graphene with two doping types of the right region, i.e., nSn and nSp configurations. It is found that the enhanced CAR is more likely to occur in the nSp configuration rather than the nSn configuration. To be concrete, the almost perfect CAR occurs in a large range of incident angle in the single Dirac cone phase when the incident energy is inside the gap of the nonlinear band. Furthermore, the roles of the length of superconductor and pseudospin-valley coupling on conductance are also evaluated.
