We observed a crossover in the Andreev conductance oscillations as a function of gate voltage ($V_{BG}$). At high $V_{BG}$ the energy-dependent oscillation amplitude exhibits a scaling predicted for non-interacting electrons, which breaks down at low $V_{BG}$. The phenomenon is a manifestation of electron-electron interactions, whose main effect is to shorten the single-particle phase coherence time $\\tau_\\phi$. These results indicate that graphene provides a useful experimental platform to investigate the competition between superconducting proximity effect and interactions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-04-24T13:25:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "superconducting proximity effect", "coulomb interactions", "competition", "single-particle phase coherence time", "graphene andreev interferometers exhibiting reentrance" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1304.6578D" } } }
