Exploring Unique Electronic States at Topological Insulator - High-Temperature Superconductor Interfaces
Abstract
We report significant achievements, including the worlds first observation of proximity-induced superconductivity in mesoscopic Josephson-junction devices that were fabricated using Pb.5Sn.5Te topological crystalline insulators that were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) at the US Army Research Laboratory. Other achievements include growth, characterization, and theory of thin layers semiconductor tin and a new magneto-terahertz response technique to isolate real topological signatures of bulk states in Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Significant progress has been made toward the MBE growth of stanene.
