▎ 摘  要

We report a theoretic study of the supercurrent rectification effect in the graphene-based superconductor (GS) junction without invoking any spin-related interaction. By introducing the valley coupling effect through the Kekule lattice distortion as well as the valley polarization interaction, we demonstrate that the GS/G/GS Joseph-son junction (JJ) can exhibit not only a n-state JJ but also a 00-state one, in which a nonzero supercurrent can flow without the superconducting phase difference between the two GS electrodes. A supercurrent rectification effect, that the critical supercurrent is asymmetric between the two opposite flowing directions, is identified. The conditions for the optimal supercurrent rectification effect are also discussed.
