Summary: This study investigates the crossed Andreev reflection and nonlocal transport in proximitized graphene/superconductor/proximitized graphene junctions with pseudospin staggered potential and intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. When the intrinsic spin-orbit couplings in the left and right graphene have opposite signs, the crossed Andreev reflection, coexisting with the local Andreev reflection and elastic cotunneling, can be completely eliminated for electrons with specific spin-valley indices. A perfect crossed Andreev reflection with a probability of 100% is achieved in the space of incident angle and electron energy. The crossed conductance and its dependence on superconductor length are also investigated. The energy ranges for the crossed Andreev reflection, without the local Andreev reflection and elastic cotunneling, are clarified for different magnitudes of the pseudospin potential and spin-orbit coupling. The spin-valley index of electrons responsible for the perfect crossed Andreev reflection can be controlled by changing the sign of the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling or applying different biases to the left and right graphene. These results are useful for designing flexible and highly efficient Cooper pair splitters based on spin-valley degree of freedom.

Summary: This study presents a novel phenomenon of generic and tunable crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) between a superconductor and antiferromagnetic layers, with potential applications in solid-state quantum entanglement. By using gate voltages to control carrier type and density in two-dimensional magnets, a robust signature of perfect CAR can be achieved.

Summary: In this study, subgap transport through AF/S and AF/S/AF junctions controlled by electric field in a buckled honeycomb system was investigated. The spin-valley polarized half-metallic phase and pure crossed Andreev reflection were achieved due to spin-orbit coupling, with the possibility of generating the pure CAR without AR and EC. A spin-valley switch effect could be realized by adjusting the electric field, and the properties of AR and CAR processes strongly depended on the spin-valley polarized states. The device could potentially be used for electrical measurement of the CAR process and spin-valley switch.

Summary: We propose a device composed of two vertically stacked monolayer graphene Josephson junctions for Cooper pair splitting. The hybridization of Andreev bound states in the two Josephson junctions facilitates non-local transport in this normal-superconductor hybrid structure, as studied through the calculation of non-local differential conductance. Our setup offers the advantage of not requiring precise control over junction length, doping, or superconducting phase difference, making it potentially easier for experimental realization.

Summary: The study shows that by controlling the orientation of the exchange field, a 0-π transition can be achieved in graphene-based superconductor-ferromagnet-R-superconductor structures, while varying the RSOC strength λ does not directly affect this transition, but it is a necessary condition for the transition induced by changing the orientation.

Summary: We investigated crossed Andreev reflection in a ferromagnet-superconductor-ferromagnet junction based on time-reversal invariant Weyl semimetals. We demonstrate that this junction can provide a suitable platform for generating pure crossed Andreev reflection signals, and the signals can be controlled by tuning the chemical potentials and magnetizations. These findings are important for generating entangled electron pairs in condensed matter systems.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of twist angle and gate electric field on electric and thermal transport in TMDC/CrI3 structures. The spin-splitting of band structures due to spin-orbit interaction can be controlled, leading to significant effects. The property of Andreev reflection process highly depends on the spin valley polarized states due to spin-orbit coupling.

Summary: Researchers present a new method to probe Andreev reflection in tunnel junctions, using tunneling spectroscopy and junction tunability for quantitative detection of superconductivity. This method allows for unambiguous identification of the origin of superconducting excitations and the detection of higher order Andreev processes in atomic-scale junctions.

Summary: In this Letter, the effect of next-to-nearest atom hopping on Klein tunneling in graphene is investigated. An effective quantum dynamics equation is obtained based on an emergent generalized Dirac structure by analyzing the tight-binding model beyond the linear regime. It is shown that this structure has some interesting theoretical properties, which can simplify quantum transport calculations and is not chirally symmetric as previously suggested. Furthermore, it is reminiscent of theories on a space with a discrete topology. Exploiting these properties, the authors demonstrate that the discrete topology of the crystal lattice affects Klein tunneling, which can be experimentally probed by measuring the transmittance through n-p-n junctions. They argue that this can simulate some quantum gravity models using graphene and propose an experiment to perform such measurements.

Summary: This study investigates the Andreev reflection across a uniaxial strained graphene-based superconducting junction. Compared to the pristine junction, three opposite properties are found: Andreev retro-reflection in the interband conversion regime, specular Andreev reflection in the intraband conversion regime, and perfect Andreev reflection with unit efficiency at a nonzero incident angle of electron. These exotic properties arise from the strain-induced anisotropic band structure of graphene, breaking the original relation between particle velocity direction and corresponding wavevector direction.

Summary: We investigate periodically driven quantum dots in two different setups - one coupled to a topological superconductor and a normal metal lead, and the other connected to two topological superconductors and side-coupled to a normal metal lead. Using non-equilibrium Green's function techniques and Floquet formalism, we obtain the quasienergy spectra as a function of amplitude, frequency, and superconducting phase difference. Our results show unique electronic responses, such as broken particle-hole symmetry resulting from the non-locality of Majorana bound states. We also calculate time-averaged current and differential conductance to experimentally detect these spectral signatures in the proposed configurations.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the transport properties of chiral Andreev edge states (CAES) in a quantum Hall-superconductor junction. We find that these properties strongly depend on the contact geometry and filling factor, and local barriers need to be added at the corners of the junction to reproduce such properties when using one-dimensional effective models.

Summary: The influence of spin-valley polarized transport channel (SVPTC) mismatch in a silicene-based ferromagnet/ferromagnet/superconductor junction and the barrier strength in a ferromagnet/insulator/ferromagnet/superconductor junction were investigated. It was found that the mismatch in SVPTC can be modulated by electric and exchange fields, while the phase shift of conductance oscillation is created by changing the electric field in the former structure and by altering the barrier strength in the latter structure.

Summary: The study reveals that the oscillations in magnetic field regimes of zigzag and armchair graphene nanoribbons in contact with superconductors become irregular and/or suppressed as the coupling strength increases. These oscillations differ from those of a nonrelativistic two-dimensional electron gas and are attributed to the phase shift at the graphene-superconductor interface. Additionally, the presence of a magnetic field suppresses the quantum blocking of Andreev transmission in zigzag nanoribbons, regardless of the type of reflection involved.
