▎ 摘  要

In the study, an improved superconducting heterojunction is made up of a zigzag graphene nanoribbon, which is patterned by a triangle and supports localized edge mode. Since all the localized edge modes stem from a pattern operation, the structure features of the pattern exert an enormous function on the coherent quantum transport. Especially, the patterned modes can enhance the Andreev reflection largely both in the ferromagnetic nanoribbon edge and the antiferromagnetic nanoribbon edge. The spin resolved zero bias conductances, in sharp contrast to its counterpart in the infinite width superconducting heterojunction, exhibit the different dependence on the patterned ferromagnetic interaction.
