Proximity-induced superconductivity in Landau-quantized graphene monolayers
Abstract
We consider massless Dirac fermions in a graphene monolayer in the ballistic limit, subject to both a perpendicular magnetic field B and a proximity-induced pairing gap Δ . When the chemical potential is at the Dirac point, our exact solution of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation yields Δ -independent relativistic Landau levels. Since eigenstates depend on Δ , many observables nevertheless are sensitive to pairing, e.g., the local density of states or the edge state spectrum. By solving the problem with an additional in-plane electric field, we also discuss how snake states are influenced by a pairing gap.
