Abstract
An incoming electron is reflected back as a hole at a normal-metal–superconductor interface, a process known as Andreev reflection. We predict that there exists a universal transverse shift in this process due to the effect of spin-orbit coupling in the normal metal. Particularly, using both the scattering approach and the argument of angular momentum conservation, we demonstrate that the shifts are pronounced for lightly doped Weyl semimetals, and are opposite for incoming electrons with different chirality, generating a chirality-dependent Hall effect for the reflected holes. The predicted shift is not limited to Weyl systems, but exists for a general three-dimensional spin-orbit-coupled metal interfaced with a superconductor.
