Perfect Crossed Andreev Reflection in Dirac Hybrid Junctions in the Quantum Hall Regime.

ABSTRACT

Perfect crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) is striking for high-efficiency Cooper pair splitting, which bears promising applications in quantum communication. Recent experimental advances have disclosed the way to explore CAR in Dirac fermion systems under ultrastrong magnetic fields. We develop a scattering approach to study quantum-Hall-superconductor-quantum-Hall junctions formed by a two-dimensional time-reversal symmetric Dirac semimetal. We propose two different setups of the hybrid junction in the quantum limit, where only zeroth Landau levels are involved in transport to exploit perfect CAR. In both setups, the CAR probability can reach unity without applying bias voltage and is controllable by the magnetic field strength, the junction width, the length, and the doping of the superconductor. CAR dominates the nonlocal transport and is directly measurable by the differential conductances. We also identify a quantized spin injection per CAR event in one of the two setups. Our proposal is experimentally feasible and will be helpful for exploring high-efficiency Cooper pair splitting and spin injection in Dirac materials.
