Scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on thin epitaxial SrRuO3/(100)YBCO ferromagnet/superconductor bilayers, reveal localized regions in which the superconductor order parameter penetrates the ferromagnet to more than 26 nm, an order of magnitude larger than the coherence length in the ferromagnetic layer. These regions consist of narrow (< 10 nm) and long strips, separated by at least 200 nm, consistent with the known magnetic domain wall structure in SrRuO3. We attributed this behavior to Crossed Andreev Reflections, taking place in the vicinity of the magnetic domain walls.

We analyze the non-local transport properties of a d-wave superconductor coupled to metallic electrodes at nanoscale distances. We show that the non-local conductance exhibits an algebraical decay with distance rather than the exponential behavior wh
ich is found in conventional superconductors. Crossed Andreev processes, associated with electronic entanglement, are favored for certain orientations of the symmetry axes of the superconductor with respect to the leads. These properties would allow its experimental detection using present technologies.
We have measured the non-local resistance of aluminum-iron spin-valve structures fabricated by e-beam lithography and shadow evaporation. The sample geometry consists of an aluminum bar with two or more ferromagnetic wires forming point contacts to t
he aluminum at varying distances from each other. In the normal state of aluminum, we observe a spin-valve signal which allows us to control the relative orientation of the magnetizations of the ferromagnetic contacts. In the superconducting state, at low temperatures and excitation voltages well below the gap, we observe a spin-dependent non-local resistance which decays on a smaller length scale than the normal-state spin-valve signal. The sign, magnitude and decay length of this signal is consistent with predictions made for crossed Andreev reflection (CAR).
We have measured Andreev reflections between an Au tip and Y_{1-x}Ca_{x}Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7 - delta} thin films in the in-plane orientation. The conductance spectra are best fitted with a pair potential having the d_{x^{2}-y^{2}+is symmetry. We find tha
t the amplitude of the is component is enhanced as the contact transparency is increased. This is an indication for an unusual proximity effect that modifies the pair potential in the superconductor near the surface with the normal metal.
Sub-gap conductance at a large area junction with a rough interface of a ferromagnet and a high-T$_{C}$ superconductor is superimposed by multiple peaks which is not expected from an ideal point contact Andreev reflection process. We demonstrate this
phenomenon by measuring resistance as a function of bias voltage of a Co/Y$_{1}$Ba$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-delta}$ junction with contact area 50 x 70 $mu$ $m^{2}$ at various temperatures. In order to analyze such Andreev reflection data, the interface is assumed to have random potentials which can create local electric fields. The Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk theory is modified with the inclusion of a broadening parameter due to finite life time effects of quasi particles. An additional voltage drop due to local electric fields at the rough interface has been included in terms of an extra energy shift which may be related to the asymmetry of normalized resistance data. Spin polarization has been introduced for the ferromagnet. The presented model explains the multi-peak nature and asymmetry of Andreev reflection data experimentally observed at large area junctions. Extension of the model also interprets the experimentally observed anomalous enhancement of resistance peaks in the sub-gap region which may result from crossing the critical current limit across the junction.
We study systematically the scattering processes and the conductance spectra in nodal-line semimetalsuperconductor junctions using the extended Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk theory. The coexistence of peculiar quadruple reflections are found, which are th
e specular normal reflection, the retro-normal reflection, the specular Andreev reflection and the retro-Andreev reflection. The incident angle dependence and the quasiparticle energy dependence of the double normal reflections and the double Andreev reflections are investigated under various values of parameters such as the interfacial barrier height, the chemical potentials, and the orbital coupling strength. It is found that the appearance and the disappearance of the reflections and their magnitudes can be controlled through tuning these parameters. The scattering mechanism for the reflections are analyzed in details from the viewpoint of the band structure. We also investigate the conductance spectra for the junctions, which show distinctive features and strong anisotropy about the orientation relationships of the nodal line and interface. The unique scattering processes and conductance spectra found in the junctions are helpful in designing superconducting electronic devices and searching for the nodal line in materials experimentally.
