Abstract:
We theoretically investigate the crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) in normal-superconductor-normal (NSN) heterojunctions based on 8-Pmmn borophene with two doping configurations, i.e., nSn and nSp, and modulate the CAR effect exclusively through the pure geometric means of tuning the junction orientation angle without relying on external fields. Two quantum transport phenomena distinct from conventional graphene-based systems are observed due to the anisotropic band structure, i.e., interband retro-CAR and intraband specular-CAR, and the CAR types can be modulated by the junction orientation angle. Moreover, perfect CAR is achieved across a wide range of incident angles. Notably, the CAR response exhibits strong valley-polarized behavior, with significant differences observed between the kD and -kD valleys.

Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
