Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the current resulted from virtual Andreev process, passing through a N/S gapped graphene-based junction, where superconductivity in the S-region is induced by depositing unconventional d-wave superconductor. It is shown that the evanescent type of Andreev reflections occurs above the critical electron incident angle, and needs to take into account its effect when calculating the tunneling conductance in the both conventional and unconventional superconductor junctions. In the evanescent wave regime, the new pure imaginary wavevector of hole-like quasiparticle is obtained, and consequently, the tunneling conductance formalism is modified. We show that due to the nature of pair interaction in d-wave superconductivity, considering the virtual Andreev process affects significantly the behavior of charge carriers in the structure. In particular, the conductance in the virtual regime is more sensitive to the superconductor gap characterized by orbital rotated angle, so that with increasing α the width of zero conductance versus bias energy decreases and above α=0.1π the current in junction is supplied just by virtual Andreev process.
