Special Issue on Andreev Reflection

In an ordinary normal metal-superconductor junction, only retro-Andreev reflection takes place, where the Andreev reflection is along the original path. Specular Andreev reflection was found in a graphene-superconductor junction, in which the hole is reflected along the specular path of the incident electron. In a nodal-line semimetal-superconductor-nodal-line semimetal junction, double Andreev reflections and double crossed Andreev reflections exist simultaneously. More and more types of Andreev reflections are investigated.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Andreev Reflection. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Andreev reflection in topological insulator-superconductor interface
• Andreev reflection in semimetal- superconductor interface
• Crossed Andreev reflection
• Andreev reflection in anisotropic multi-Weyl semimetals interface
• Spin- and valley-dependent Andreev reflection
• Transport properties in altermagnet-superconductor interface
• Josephson current

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Andreev Reflection” should be selected during your submission.
