Abstract
The accurate and proper form of electron-hole excitations and corresponding Dirac-like spinors of monolayer molybdenum disulfide superconductor are exactly obtained. Andreev reflection and resulting subgap conductance in a -based ferromagnetic superconducting (F/S) junction is accurately investigated in terms of dynamical characteristics of system. Due to spin-splitting energy gap in the valence band and nondegenerate and valleys, the ferromagnetic exchange energy can cause a distinct behavior of Andreev process between spin-up and spin-down charge carriers belonging to different valleys. The chemical potential is necessarily fixed by a determined range in order to occur the retro Andreev reflection. Given one-particle superconducting bispinors enable us to explicitly involve the anisotropic superconducting gap under electron-hole conversion, i.e., taking place in -wave pair coupling. The effect of such gap is exactly explained in terms of the dependence of the Andreev process on the electron incidence angle at the interface.
