▎ 摘  要

The excitation spectrum of quasiparticles in multilayer graphene deposited on a superconductor is studied within the framework of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation under an effective mass approximation. Assuming that only the bottom layer of graphene is directly coupled with the superconductor and this coupling is described by a simple tunneling model, we approximately determine the excitation spectrum of N-layer graphene and obtain the low-energy tunneling density of states in the top layer. It is shown that due to proximity effect, a multigap structure appears in the tunneling density of states when N >= 3.
