We study theoretically behavior of thermal massless Dirac fermions inside graphene-based Ferromagnetic |Insulator| d-wave/s-wave superconductor (F|I|d and F|I|S) junctions in the ballistic regime. We employ Dirac–Bogoliubov–de Genne formalism and use Dirac–BdG wave functions within the ferromagnetic, normal, and superconducting regions and appropriate boundary conditions, to derive Andreev and normal reflection coefficients. By employing the obtained Andreev and normal reflection coefficients, thin barrier approximation and also appropriate values of parameters, we investigate characteristics of heat current through the F|I|d and F|I|S junctions. We find that for s-wave superconductors, thermal conductance (Γ) oscillates sinusoidally versus strength of barrier in the thin barrier approximation. The finding persists for all values of α, orientation of d-wave superconductor crystal in the k-space, for values of α very close to π/4, magnitude of the oscillations suppress completely. By increasing temperature...
