Pseudo-diffusive conduction at the Dirac point of a normal-superconductor junction in graphene

Abstract
A ballistic strip of graphene (width W>> length L) connecting two normal metal contacts is known to have a minimum conductivity of 4e^{2}/pi h at the Dirac point of charge neutrality. We calculate what happens if one of the two contacts becomes superconducting. While the ballistic conductance away from the Dirac point is increased by Andreev reflection at the normal-superconductor (NS) interface, we find that the minimum conductivity stays the same. This is explained as a manifestation of pseudo-diffusive conduction at the Dirac point. As a generalization of our results for a ballistic system, we provide a relation between the conductance G_NS of an arbitrarily disordered normal-superconductor junction in graphene and its value G_N when both contacts are in the normal state.
