High-T c Cooper-pair injection in a semiconductor–superconductor structure

We observe Andreev reflection in a YBCO-GaN junction through differential conductance spectroscopy. A strong characteristic zero-bias peak was observed and persisted up to the critical temperature of the superconductor with a smaller superconducting order parameter Δ ∼ 1 meV. The presence of Andreev reflection with the small Δ in comparison to its value for high-
