Abstract
We report the study of ballistic transport in normal metal/graphene/superconductor junctions in edge-contact geometry. While in the normal state, we have observed Fabry-Pérot resonances suggesting that charge carriers travel ballistically, the superconducting state shows that the Andreev reflection at the graphene/superconductor interface is affected by these interferences. Our experimental results in the superconducting state have been analyzed and explained with a modified Octavio-Tinkham-Blonder-Klapwijk model taking into account the magnetic pair-breaking effects and the two different interface transparencies, i.e., between the normal metal and graphene, and between graphene and the superconductor. We show that the transparency of the normal metal/graphene interface strongly varies with doping at large scale, while it undergoes weaker changes at the graphene/superconductor interface. When a cavity is formed by the charge transfer occurring in the vicinity of the contacts, we see that the transmission probabilities follow the normal state conductance highlighting the interplay between the Andreev processes and the electronic interferometer.
