Effect of proximity-induced unconventional p-wave superconductivity in a three-dimensional topological insulator-based S/F/S structure on the Andreev bound states (ABSs) and Josephson supercurrent is studied. We investigate, in detail, the suppression of Andreev reflection and helical ABSs in the presence of three types of triplet superconducting gap. The magnetization of ferromagnetic section is perpendicular to the surface of junction. The influence of such features on the supercurrent flow on the surface of the topological insulator is studied. We carry out our goal by introducing a relevant form of Dirac spinors for gapless renormalized by chemical potential μ excitation states. Therefore, it enables us to consider the virtual Andreev process, simultaneously, and we propose to investigate it in a tunneling conductance junction. It is shown that the results obtained in this case are completely different from those in conventional superconductivity, as s- or d-waves, for example, the magnetization is found to decrease the gap for px and px+ipy case, whereas increase it for py order. Strongly suppressed Andreev reflection is demonstrated.

In the theory of superconducting junctions, Green’s function has an important role for obtaining Andreev bound states, local density of states and Josephson current in a systematic way. In this article, we show how to construct Green’s function on the surface of a topological insulator following McMillan’s formalism where the energy spectrum of electrons obeys a linear dispersion. For a model of a superconductor (S)/ferromagnet (F)/normal metal (N) junction, we show that the generation of a Majorana fermion gives rise to the enhanced local density of states and pair amplitude of odd-frequency pairing. We also derive an extended Furusaki–Tsukada’s formula of DC Josephson current in S/F/S junctions. The obtained Josephson current depends on the direction and magnitude of the magnetization. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Andreev bound states’.
