▎ 摘  要

Crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) is a non local process that converts an incoming electron (hole) from one normal electrode to an out-going hole (electron) in another normal electrode through a superconductor (SC). CAR corresponds to the inverse process of Cooper pair splitting, which generates a quantum-entangled electron pair with spatial separation. Here, we fabricated vertically stacked double bilayer graphene (BLG) connected via a superconducting electrode and achieved a spacing between BLG sheets of similar to 44 nm, which is far shorter than the superconducting coherence length. We confirm the highly efficient CAR effect by observing strong negative differential resistance in a nonlocal configuration and demonstrate that the competing processes against the CAR can be effectively suppressed by separately tuning the chemical potential of each BLG. The dependence of nonlocal signals on bias voltage, temperature, and chemical potential is consistent with the predicted CAR process. Our results provide a new pathway to a novel SC-based quantum entangler with the in situ tunability of the correlated-pair-splitting efficiency.
